Like a female assassin – face covered, inconspicuous and determined – a woman entered a gym to vent her anger, her pain with gunshots.

The woman, not caring that several people were exercising in the gym, was approaching her goal. This, to compound the situation, had been his son-in-law.

He took his firearm from a sweater pocket and didn’t hesitate for a moment: he pulled the trigger and hit his daughter’s “ex.” He almost injured a girl who was unconsciously standing between the attacker and the victim of this unusual armed attack.

Confusion reigned in the “gym,” the woman “unloaded” the bullets, and the rest abandoned their sessions and workout routines to get to safety.

Where did this ex-mother-in-law attack go?

The impressive scene was captured by the security cameras of the gym in La Matanza, Buenos Aires.

The aggressive mother-in-law was identified as Sara Garay, age 65. The 60-year-old shot between 8 and 11 times, according to Argentinian media, such as A24, and managed to wound her ex-son-in-law Daniel Blanco, 32, in the left arm.

“He was miraculously saved,” the Argentine press reports.

“They told us there was no one left”: A man died exercising in a gym and was found in a bathroom the next day

Why did he shoot his ex-son-in-law?

Garay would have acted to take the law into his own hands. Some kind of thirst for revenge, it seems, guided his steps to the “gym” on the night of June 16.

“The aggressor is Daniel’s ex-mother-in-law, who went to kill him directly,” the sister of the shot person told Télam, according to A 24.

Sara Garay, in the words of Alejandra Blanco, “is obsessed” with Daniel.

A son of the perpetrator has died and she blames her ex-son-in-law for that death.

The attacker blames my brother for her son’s death because they trained together and accuses him of giving her steroids

According to La Nación, the sixty-year-old would have “psychiatric problems.”

That medium added that “the victim’s ex-partner said her mother blamed her for the death of her son, who died of natural causes.”

Blanco’s ex-mother-in-law would be charged with attempted murder. After leaving the chaos in the “gym”, he left in a car. The former son-in-law will live the rest of his days to tell this episode where death breathed very close to him.
