Argentina’s Federal Police stopped two school shootings after receiving an alert from the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) about the possibility of the attacks. The antiterrorist investigations unit of the Argentine Federal Police was alerted by the FBI about the posts, and began looking into them. Although school shootings are very rare in Argentina, a slew of recent reports indicate that the problem might be on the rise. In November, a 16-year-old was arrested in Buenos Aires city, accused of planning a school shooting. “I am a fan of school shootings,” one of them said.
