Gunman wounds US consular official in western Mexico

A gunman wounded an official from the US consulate in Mexico's western city of Guadalajara when he opened fire on his car in broad daylight, officials said today.

The consulate posted a video on Facebook showing the shooter, dressed in blue, waiting outside a parking garage, raising his gun and firing at the car yesterday.

"According to the medical report, he is in stable condition," the Mexican attorney general's office said in a statement while the FBI offered a USD 20,000 reward for information about the shooter.
