		</div><p>A British tourist was killed and his stepson injured when they were shot during a robbery outside a luxury Buenos Aires hotel.</p>
<p>Northamptonshire businessman Matthew Gibbard, 50, and Stefan Zone, 28, were targeted by two men on a motorbike on Saturday morning in an attack caught on CCTV.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Officials said the holidaymakers were shot as they tried to resist attempts to steal their belongings.</p>
<p>Footage shows a struggle before the suspects flee the scene on their motorbike, leaving one man lying on the street.</p>
<p>Both were taken to hospital after the attack near the entrance of the Faena Art Hotel, in the waterfront Puerto Madero district of the Argentinian capital.</p>
<p>Mr Gibbard was shot in the chest and later died, while Mr Zone, his stepson, suffered a thigh wound.</p>
<p>Local media reports said police believe the motorbike robbers were supported by accomplices in a vehicle and are investigating whether the victims were followed to the hotel from the airport.</p>
<p>A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: “We are supporting the family of two British men following an incident in Buenos Aires, and are in contact with the local authorities there.”</p>

<p>More than 111,000 British nationals visited Argentina in 2018, according to the Foreign Office, which said most visits are “trouble free”.</p>
<p>But tourists are warned to be alert to street crime, including armed robberies, and advised to hand over cash and valuables without resistance.</p>
