Published footage shows shattered windows, multiple bullet holes, and the floor of the bus soaked in blood. One of the bullets also damaged a wheel of the vehicle.
Tigre released an official statement strongly condemning the attack. The injured fan received all necessary medical assistance, his condition has since improved, and the club has arranged for his safe return to Buenos Aires.
Uruguayan police have already identified the suspected perpetrators of the armed assault and are working to apprehend them.
