An amateur football match was marred by violence
after a player shot and killed a referee and also
injured another player after he was given a red
card. The match took place on Sunday in the
Campo de la Ribera area of Cordoboa, Argentina.
The referee, Cesar Flores, 48, was killed after being shot three times - once in the head, neck
and chest, according to police. According to the report bt MirrorSport, Police say
referee Cesar Flores, 48, showed the assailant a
red card for making a heavy tackle on an
opponent. The player, who is at large, then
retrieved a gun from his bag and shot Flores three
times. He also wounded another player, 25-year- old Walter Zarate, before fleeing the scene. Walter Zarate, was taken to hospital, though he is
not in critical condition. "It all happened during the match,” a police
spokesman said. “We don’t know what
happened with the referee but the player
was angry and went to get his gun and
killed him.” The shooting appears to have taken place during
an amateur game that the Argentina’s Football
Federation might not have organized. If so, this
looks like a case of social problems in the South
American nation spilling onto the field of play.
