US Consular Official Shot in Mexico

by VOA News

   An official with the United States consulate was shot Friday night in
   Guadalajara, Mexico, and authorities are trying to identify a suspect.

   The official is said to be in stable condition, according to a
   statement from the Mexican attorney general's office.

   A video posted to Facebook by the U.S. consulate shows the shooter
   waiting outside a parking garage before opening fire on the official's
   car in the middle of the day.

   The video shows a man dressed in a blue shirt and wearing sun glasses,
   but no other information has been released about the shooter.

   The Federal Bureau of Investigation is offering a $20,000 reward for
   information leading to the suspect's arrest.
