Atlanta leaders and supporter journalists who traveled to Tucumán for this Friday’s game with San Martín were shot at by members of the local team’s supporters. This occurs just 11 days after the incidents in Luján-Alem, which left one dead.
The leader and journalist “Turco” Alaluf was at the scene of the events and spoke with TyC Sports: “We’re fine, but I have to say I was born again. We had a bad time. There is a pro-Atlanta journalist injured in the leg.”
The story: this was the barra attack on Atlanta leaders
Alaluf recounted in the same note everything that happened in the house of the president of the “Bohemio” rock in the north of the country.
- “there were a lot of shots. We were in the house of the president of the Atlanta supporters club here in the north of the country. We were sharing with some leaders, having lunch. 15 bars came on a motorcycle and started shooting “
- “They shot and told us that ‘you don’t mess around here’ and that ‘you’re not going to leave here alive’. They caught us off guard. It was a desktop, we had lunch”
- “My shirt was stolen. I was shot because I grappled with one. I didn’t really think about it, at that moment the impotence that they wanted to rob me was stronger “
- “They shot me a meter away from me but they didn’t hit me”
