Overview

• Early Sunday morning in Villa Progreso, an 88-year-old resident drew a .22-caliber revolver and fired dissuasive shots when two intruders broke windows and tried to force his rear door.
• Authorities confirmed that no one was injured and the suspects fled without being identified after the warning shots.
• Comando Patrullas officers responded to a 911 call, conducted a neighborhood search and secured the scene but did not locate the perpetrators.
• Police confiscated the revolver, loaded with five live rounds and one spent casing, after the homeowner failed to produce legal documentation for gun possession.
• The case is being handled by La Plata’s UFI N°5 office and remains open as investigators review forensic results and security footage to identify the suspects and clarify legal responsibility.
