US child shot during car chase by army in northern Mexico

Officials in the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas say a US toddler was shot in the back by Mexican army personnel when her family's car apparently got in between a military patrol and a car of suspects.
The head of the federal prosecutors' office in the state said another girl was grazed by a bullet and a woman suffered slight wounds from bullet or glass fragments.
Guadalupe Salinas said today the injuries of the 1-year, 8-month-old girl aren't life-threatening. She is being treated in San Antonio, Texas.
The woman is the mother of one of the girls. The US citizens were apparently visiting relatives in Tamaulipas last week.

The US Embassy in Mexico City said only that it was aware of reports that a US citizen had been wounded.
