00:00Pay attention to the images, there was the police.
00:08This is the moment when the police arrive at the area where the garden was, the runs.
00:11The parents who run to pick up the children.
00:14Desperation. Imagine you, dad, of a small creature,
00:18and you hear that they send you a message on WhatsApp,
00:21or they start to activate the chats in the garden,
00:23saying, hey, there are shots at the door.
00:25Well, that happens in the United States.
00:27That happens in the United States.
00:29Now, look at what is happening now.
00:32At this moment, the children should be leaving school.
00:35Diego de Nicolás, tell us what happened.
00:38What was the day like today, after this revolution,
00:42and the fear that the parents experienced?
00:46How are you, Pablo? Good afternoon.
00:48Yes, today very few children came to the garden.
00:51The doors were just opened.
00:53We barely had four or five children out of the hands of their mothers,
00:57who withdrew, but not much more than that,
01:00because, of course, the families were very distressed after this situation.
01:05And let's recap a little yesterday,
01:08what was happening while the children were inside this garden.
01:13A situation too distressing,
01:16because they began to hear the shots, which they did not know what they were.
01:20Because, at one point, the children were preparing for the end-of-year party,
01:25and, of course, they were with music and others,
01:28and suddenly all that is heard.
01:30So there was confusion, but the principal,
01:33some teachers who were near the door,
01:36managed to see that it was not really any celebration,
01:40no music or anything like that.
01:42They were directly bullets from one side to the other.
01:46Many people wonder who caused this shooting.
01:50Come on, Juan, let's walk around this area
01:53and try to show you this area of freedom.
01:56Some neighbors say that there are gangs that are disputing territory,
02:01probably for the sale of drugs.
02:03So, at certain times, these confrontations occur.
02:08The neighbors say that yesterday's shooting lasted at least 10 minutes.
02:1210 minutes!
02:1415 minutes!
02:16Yes, and how many shots.
02:18They say that at least 20 shots were heard.
02:21Those who count did it at random,
02:23because they did not imagine how many shots there were,
02:26but they heard them.
02:28Until the police arrived and there began a chase.
02:31The information we have so far
02:33is that one of those who participated in the shooting escaped wounded,
02:38but so far it has not been reported that there are detainees.
02:42Ah, there are no detainees.
02:44Do you know, Diego, if they are saying that one of these groups
02:48is related to the same neighborhood,
02:51to two or three schools,
02:53and maybe that's why the situation ended there?
02:58Yes, yes, that was talked about a lot.
03:01They talk about people who are very few meters from the school.
03:05Maybe they talk about some who may be around
03:09or in some area of the outskirts.
03:12And that's why many neighbors are also a little afraid to talk,
03:16because they have to live with this every day.
03:19Of course.
03:20Diego, today, look, the version had circulated yesterday
03:23that they had had to quarrel at school.
03:27Today, in a way, because they had even entered,
03:30a couple of these who faced the establishment.
03:33Paul, the director, wanted to bring tranquility in that sense
03:36and ended up telling something that I don't know if it really is not worse.
03:39Because he said, no, they didn't come in,
03:41if what we activate, because one prepares for these situations,
03:45that one understands that he never wants them to happen,
03:48but prepares in case they happen.
03:50So that's where I worry,
03:53that a kindergarten and that children have to be prepared
03:56for an evacuation in the event of a shooting.
03:58We have all received the note once,
04:01look, today we are going to do a simulacrum,
04:03be on guard at home so that the children do not get scared
04:06in case there is ever a fire.
04:08Now that there is an evacuation protocol to get the children out.
04:12And they had to set up a safe corridor.
04:14They called the parents urgently,
04:17many fortunately live nearby,
04:19only when they could have patrols to guarantee the exit.
04:24I mean, let's see what we are naturalizing,
04:26a protocol to get out.
04:28With children who depend on being held by hand
04:30to take them home or to a safe place.
04:33To set up a corridor with patrols
04:35through which the children have to pass
04:37after there had been a confrontation between two gangs.
04:40That in a nearby house,
04:42I don't know if they give the subway cable to Diego
04:44and if not, we'll show it later by cloth.
04:46They left a strainer, right, Diego?
04:48Of course, the car and the truck that Diego showed us.
04:50In the meantime, we are, I tell you,
04:52we are preparing the message,
04:54the message of the school evacuation order.
04:57Look, families, please come and look for the children
05:01now that the patrolman is at the door.
05:03We have to evacuate the garden for everyone's safety.
05:06And it says, Portón Santa Rosa.
05:10To the street, where to go, right?
05:12What a despair of the people of the school.
05:15Let's send a message like this, like mom, like dad.
05:17I'm going crazy.
05:18I'm going to resume, Bobby, what you were saying earlier.
05:21There it is, look.
05:22With respect to what happened to the children
05:24while they were inside the school.
05:26The children were always safe.
05:28The school remained closed.
05:31They were, let's see, I don't know if the word is trenched,
05:34because the director denies, I mean,
05:36she doesn't want to use that word,
05:38but they were like with the doors closed,
05:40waiting for everything to pass.
05:42And the children were all safe, fortunately.
05:45I imagine the stage, even the teacher, Diego,
05:49I imagine this teacher, senior,
05:51trying to do things to entertain the children
05:54while organizing the exit.
05:56Distracting them from a situation that outside was very tense.
05:59Even, I imagine, that pedagogical work, right?
06:02Yes, but Diego, let's see, you just showed some bullets.
06:06You also showed a car.
06:08And I say, any of those lost bullets,
06:10as much as you, the children are inside the garden,
06:12they are in danger of their lives.
06:13It enters through a window, it enters through a blind.
06:15Of course, look at the distance from the school
06:17to what Diego is marking us.
06:19Let's see, mark us, Diego, what distance we have.
06:21Yes, look, let's see.
06:23From the place where we just showed you,
06:25look, let's count the steps.
06:27I'm going to ask Juan to focus on this side.
06:29Look, this is a bullet.
06:31Look at you, of course.
06:33Here, right?
06:35And how high is it?
06:37The truck was parked here.
06:39The truck was parked here,
06:41which you saw earlier with the bullets.
06:43If we are going to start walking from here.
06:45One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
06:50Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
06:53Those two houses.
06:54Twelve steps.
06:55We are already at the height of the middle of the school.
06:58Of course.
06:59Even if the children are already at school,
07:02and the teachers and the principal, of course,
07:05looking to save their lives.
07:07Even so, in a situation like this,
07:10a lost bullet can reach anyone.
07:13That's why today, none of them went to class.
07:16They couldn't go to school, Diego.
07:19Beyond the fact that probably,
07:21even as a precaution, the principal...
07:23Yes, but the children didn't go.
07:25What they told you is that the school
07:27will be with the doors open,
07:29that they ask the police for reinforcements
07:31one, two, three thousand times.
07:33But of course, the parents didn't send their children.
07:35And I want to tell you something else.
07:37The police spent much of the day
07:39with a patrol car at the school gate.
07:41About an hour ago, the patrol car left.
07:44So now there's no one, Jorge.
07:46Pablo, a confrontation on the territory.
07:50To sell bread? No, to sell drugs.
07:53You have to say it with all the letters.
07:55In several parts of the province,
07:57especially in Merlo,
07:58many times drugs are sold
08:00through delivery, at night.
08:02They poison the lives of our children.
08:04This has to be said with all the letters.
08:06In the noses of everyone, of everyone.
08:08Police, authorities, and so on.
08:11To end this, we have to fight in drug trafficking.
08:14I'm not going to get tired of saying it.
08:16Because it's incredible that even today
08:18we are still thinking that this happens
08:20simply because they fight for the territory.
08:22But Jorge, I'll say it again.
08:24Jorge, Bobby, do we think that the local police
08:27don't know that there are two gangs
08:29fighting for their territory?
08:30But of course, yes.
08:31But if the neighbors know it,
08:33they know what the nature of the conflict is.
08:35What happens is that they can't talk too much.
08:37And so everything today, in notes that were made
08:39during the day, they counted.
08:41They know who they are, they know the names,
08:43they know the nature of the conflict.
08:45It's okay, we're leaving because they live there.
08:47They can't talk about the bill anymore.
08:50But in the same notes, today they counted.
08:52And they are 20 steps from the garden.
08:55Please.
08:56This is not a dispute that began yesterday
08:59when they faced the shots at the door of a kindergarten.
09:01Diego, what happens to the neighbors,
09:03beyond the kids who are there, who are not there today?
09:06But what happens to the neighbors
09:08who must be upset to live like this every day?
09:13What do they tell you?
09:14Yes, because, let's see,
09:15incidents of insecurity, incidents of violence
09:18are observed daily,
09:21both in this block and in another.
09:24These things happen.
09:25Let's see, look, Pablo,
09:26you know that the teachers are leaving now.
09:28I want to see if I can talk to any of them.
09:30Or see if I can talk to the director of the establishment.
09:33Okay, that would be good.
09:34I ask you if you take a second.
09:36Yes, yes, of course.
09:37Quiet, quiet, Isa.
09:38Or the transmission.
09:40Well, Isa, go ahead.
09:41I want to talk to some of them,
09:42see if they agree to talk.
09:43Go ahead, go ahead.
09:44You do it while we comment on this.
09:46Look at you.
09:47Well, he's leaving.
09:48Let's see what he tells us.
09:49Let Diego work there quietly,
09:50see if any teacher agrees,
09:52because, besides, you have to be a teacher in Argentina, right?
09:55You have to be a teacher.
09:56For everything that is difficult today,
09:57be it as a pedagogical challenge,
09:59I tell you as a brother of a teacher,
10:01which is to get the attention of the children,
10:03is to generate play spaces,
10:05living spaces,
10:08get the attention,
10:09be it kindergarten, elementary school, high school,
10:11of the children in an era that is already digital,
10:15that they have to compete against social networks,
10:17against the stimuli of the telephones, of the screens,
10:19to all that difficulty,
10:21in very difficult places,
10:22also where the crisis is hitting very hard,
10:25as in this case it is the urban zone,
10:27to all that, you have to add that you go to a kindergarten,
10:30and they come in, the bullets hit the wall,
10:33you try to distract the children
10:35to isolate them from that situation,
10:37from their attention,
10:38and outside you know that they are,
10:40let's say it in old Latin,
10:41they are shitting bullets,
10:42and then you have to go out there,
10:44at one point they call the parents,
10:45you just showed the message, Pablo,
10:47we put it on the screen with the production,
10:49you get that message,
10:50and they come to your body with questions,
10:52they don't give you the legs to run,
10:54and at the same time, in a certain...
10:57it is reactivated,
10:58when they thought that the boys were gone,
11:00look at this message, you received it on your cell phone,
11:02families, please come and look for the children now
11:04they are patrolling the door,
11:05you say, how did they patrol?
11:06What did I miss?
11:07Look at the school chat,
11:08others say they have more news,
11:10they live closer,
11:11no, because they were caught shooting,
11:12how did they get caught shooting?
11:13You see, you go crazy,
11:15you go crazy,
11:16and on top of that,
11:17at one point it seemed that it had been patched up,
11:19and the thing was reactivated,
11:20you don't even know,
11:22it's not even sure you're going to get it out.
11:24Diego, what did the director tell you?
11:26She wanted to talk, she couldn't, tell us.
11:28Yes, no, I talked to,
11:29I talked to some teachers there,
11:30the director is inside,
11:32no, for now,
11:33they don't want to talk,
11:34they left,
11:35the teachers asked us not to focus on them,
11:38to go with their heads,
11:40let's say, practically,
11:41so as not to show themselves,
11:43they are very confused,
11:44a situation,
11:45for others,
11:46for other stressors who had to live,
11:48because they have to keep coming here,
11:50they come almost every,
11:51they come every day,
11:53and many times,
11:54these things happen to them,
11:55or they are robbed at the bus stop,
11:57or they are robbed in the street,
11:59or they have some other event,
12:01to all,
12:02or to the vast majority,
12:03something has always happened to them,
12:05at some point,
12:06in their life,
12:07in their career,
12:08therefore,
12:09what happens to you now,
12:10a shooting,
12:11at the door,
12:12the place where you are working,
12:13where you are supposedly safe,
12:14inside the garden,
12:15well,
12:16obviously,
12:17it's like reaching an extreme.
12:18It's too much.
