Argentina Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has GUN pointed at her in ‘attempted assassination’ at her home
A WOULD-be attacker threatened Argentina’s Vice President, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, with a gun on Thursday, according to local reports.
The politician was unharmed after no shots were fired at the entrance of her home in Buenos Aires, where hundreds of protestors were gathered.
De Kirchner is currently in the middle of a corruption scandal and was returning from court when she came into contact with the crowd.
She has denied all of the charges.
Sergio Massa, the country’s economy minister, called the terrifying incident an “attempted assassination.”
“When hate and violence prevail over debate, societies are destroyed and situations like these arise: attempted assassination,” he tweeted.
According to police, an “armed” man was arrested near De Kirchner’s home and “a weapon was found a few meters from the scene.”
Police described the man as being of Brazilian origin.
The man allegedly pointed the gun at De Kirchner in the middle of a crowd, but no shots were fired during the incident.
Video shared on social media showed a crowd swarming De Kirchner as she got out of a car before a hand appears and points what appears to be a gun directly at her face.
De Kirchner ducks out of the way before security tries to block her from the possible gunman.

Mysterious FPS Project Slingshot has a cheese gun, and a closed alpha
If there’s one thing that goes great with a hot FPS game, it’s cheese. At least, that’s the sense you get from this cryptic teaser trailer for Project Slingshot, the codename for a new multiplayer game that’s in the works from C77, which itself is a newly formed studio that includes some FPS veterans from 343 Industries and Bungie. C77 is looking for alpha testers, and you can sign up for a chance to fire a cheese gun right now.
Petting dogs in games is old news: in boomer shooter Ripout, you can pet your gun
Ripout’s standout feature is not the retro-future 80’s aesthetic. It’s not the excellent gunplay, or the way little aliens that scurry around its industrial spaceships before attaching themselves to bigger aliens and coming to kill you. It’s not the looter shooter aspiration, nor is it the rogue-like setup of its levels. No, it’s the gun. Your gun. Your pet gun.
That’s right, your gun is alive – and it’s not something incessant and irritating like your Johnson in Shadows of the Damned, or those endlessly quipping lunatic firearms in High on Life. Your gun is better; more ‘man’s best friend’ than ‘obnoxious bellend’. In Ripout, you wield a little pet alien, resembling something somewhere between a shrunken-down xenomorph and gothic gargoyle, that fires bullets from its maw and snatches body parts off grotesque aliens. And you can pet it, if you feel so obliged.
This living weapon is at the center of everything Ripout is doing. The game, a self-confessed boomer shooter from a team of developers that take rich inspiration from 90s shooters, is a gameplay-first effort that has no cutscenes, no cinematics, and no “fluff” (per the creative director, Goran Rajsic). Instead, the 10-person strong development team has focused all its efforts on the shooting, the level setup, and – of course – your gun.

Bungie Disables Another Exotic Gun For Destiny 2 King’s Fall Raid Race
Bungie has disabled the new Destiny 2 Exotic weapon, Quicksilver Storm, in high-level content ahead of Friday’s race to complete the game’s newest raid, the revamped King’s Fall from Destiny 1. Quicksilver Storm is the latest casualty on the list of weapons and Exotic armor pieces that Bungie has disabled thanks to bug and glitches that came with the release of its latest content release, Season of Plunder.
Quicksilver Storm is an Exotic auto rifle that has some special properties–under the right circumstances, it can fire missiles like a rocket launcher and grenades like a grenade launcher. That latter capability is the source of the problem. Bungie rebalanced Heavy ammo-firing grenade launchers with its Season of Plunder patch, intending to make them do more damage and thus be more viable in high-level content. However, grenade launchers have been doing tremendous amounts of damage since the patch on Tuesday, August 23, dishing out something like 150% more damage than before the patch. That has made high-level content, like the recently released Duality dungeon, pretty easy for players to complete.
