An 18-year-old student was shot in the abdomen and arm at Escuela N° 58 in Villa Dorrego, located in the La Matanza district of González Catán. The incident occurred in a school bathroom on a Wednesday. The shooter, identified as a 17-year-old student, was detained at the scene. Police recovered a .22 caliber Bersa pistol that had been discarded by the perpetrator.

The victim was transported to Hospital Simplemente Evita by teachers in a private vehicle before police arrived. Following surgery, the victim's mother confirmed he is out of danger. Before his operation, the victim told nursing staff that the shooting was an accident, claiming his friend was showing him the weapon when the shots went off.

Authorities are investigating how the firearm was brought into the school. Prosecutor Marcelo Germinario is leading the investigation through the Juvenile Criminal Responsibility Prosecutor's Office No. 2 of La Matanza.
