Delivery Driver Survives Gunshot to Head in Argentina Robbery Attempt

A delivery driver in Laferrere, Argentina, narrowly escaped a fatal encounter when he was shot in the head during a robbery attempt. The incident, captured on security cameras, shows the victim, identified as Damián, being surprised by two armed assailants while making a delivery.

In a moment of quick thinking, Damián managed to deflect the gunman's weapon just as it fired. This action caused the bullet to graze his skull, entering through his forehead and exiting near the back, rather than causing a direct, potentially lethal impact. He described the experience, stating, "The projectile entered through the forehead. I have an entry and exit wound. The bullet traveled along the outside of the skull and exited a bit further back. I didn't have any serious injuries."

The projectile entered through the forehead. I have an entry and exit wound. The bullet traveled along the outside of the skull and exited a bit further back. I didn't have any serious injuries. I had X-rays, a CT scan, and I had nothing.

Following the shooting, the assailants fled the scene in Damián's vehicle, taking the merchandise he was meant to deliver. Neighbors provided assistance, taking him to a local health center where medical evaluations, including X-rays and a CT scan, confirmed he had no severe injuries. The driver expressed his distress and urged authorities to apprehend the perpetrators, emphasizing the danger they pose to the public. "I want, if possible, to identify these guys and put them in jail, because I am alive today, but they could kill anyone. They don't care about anything," he stated.

This violent event follows a similar attack on a delivery worker in Lanús, Argentina, just days prior. In that incident, a worker was shot in the abdomen during a robbery, with the bullet reportedly becoming lodged in his body due to his physique.
