A 5-year-old girl was seriously wounded by a gunshot to the abdomen in a shooting in Rosario's Tablada neighborhood on Saturday night. Her mother and two men were also shot in the incident. The child remains hospitalized with a reserved prognosis as the investigation proceeds without arrests.
The shooting took place around 10 p.m. on Saturday, February 1, 2026, in Rosario's Tablada neighborhood, an area again shaken by violence. The 5-year-old girl was with her mother when she was hit in the abdomen, resulting in severe insufficiencies. She was rushed to Hospital Roque Sáenz Peña and then transferred to Hospital de Niños Víctor J. Videda, where she is stable, conscious, and oriented, but with a reserved prognosis due to the abdominal injury.
The mother was also wounded with bullet impacts to an arm and a leg, suffering fractures in her foot and arm. She received care at Hospital de Emergencias Clemente Álvarez, where her condition is stable and she may be discharged on Monday. In the same incident, two men were injured: a 29-year-old entered Hospital Roque Sáenz Peña on his own with a wound to his left thigh and was discharged as his injuries were not serious; the other remains under observation.
Police were alerted by a motorcyclist transporting the wounded mother, man, and girl. The exact circumstances of the shootout and the identities of those involved are under investigation by authorities, with no arrests reported so far. This event underscores the ongoing wave of violence in Rosario, though specific details are limited to initial medical and police reports.
