Argentina election campaigns suspended after 11-year old killed in robbery

Candidates for the national primary elections cancelled rallies as protests roiled city of Lanus, where attack took place

The death of an 11-year-old girl in a drive-by robbery caught on grainy security footage in Buenos Aires has shocked Argentina and prompted all major candidates to cancel their closing campaign rallies ahead of national primary elections on Sunday.

Morena Dominguez was attacked by two robbers who were riding a motorcycle when she was about to arrive at school early on Wednesday morning in the Buenos Aires district of Lanus. The attackers snatched her mobile phone, and she fell to the pavement where she was left unconscious.
