Another bloody football Sunday
Three dead after Huracán soccer game
What seemed to be a shining Sunday for Huracán after a solid 3-0 victory against Arsenal that put them on the berth of the title, turned out into another dark episode of hooligans' clashes.
Two Huracán's hooligan groups clashed during and after the team's game against Arsenal leaving two fatal victims and four wounded who were hospitilized at the J.M Penna Hospital.
A third victim was killed after a robbery attempt.
The battle started during the halftime when the two groups were fighting in the middle of the crowds. Then the clashes reached their peak outside the Huracán' stadium when the ‘barrabravas' (hooligans) met again at Luna street 1500, this time with knives and fire guns. One man was shot in the heart and died while being taken to the hospital, and at least four got severely wounded and taken to the Penna hospital also in the neighbourhood of Parque de los Patricios.
Two of the woundeds were 'rescued' by hooligan mattes and ran away the J.M Penna Hospital before the police could identify them.
Surprisingly, the third encounter -and the most violent- between hooligans took place at the hospital's front door. There was a shoot out in which a second victim was shot and later died while was under a surgery procedure.
One of the two woundeds that remain a the Penna hospital is a woman who was shot in the left leg and ended with fractures in the femur and shinbone.
