A police officer in Argentina reportedly shot his ex-girlfriend at her workplace earlier this week after barging in and claiming, “You’re mine or no one’s.”
Sergio Patricio Galván, a police officer from Formosa, stormed into the beauty salon where his ex-girlfriend Teresita Luciana López worked as a secretary on Monday. After explaining that she would not be with him or anyone else, he allegedly shot her before entering the restroom and attempting suicide.
Galván shot himself once in the stomach and another time in the head, but he survived and was taken to Formosa Central Hospital for treatment, Argentine newspaper TN reported. He was then heard screaming, “Look what you made me do.”
Police learned that Galván, 35, and López, 34, had “maintained a romantic relationship” but separated in August.

According to Jam Press, he used his service pistol to commit the murder. Police will conduct an autopsy on López to determine how many times Galván shot her, and Galván remains in the hospital’s intensive care unit.
Mariana Barbetti, the salon owner, told media she was in her office when she heard a receptionist tell someone to call the police.
