Gunmen shoot and wound Argentine tourist in Brazil

Brazilian police say gunmen shot and wounded an Argentine tourist in Rio de Janeiro for Carnival when the car she was riding in strayed into a slum.

The shooting occurred yesterday afternoon in the Morro dos Prazeres slum located next to the bohemian Santa Teresa neighborhood.

Police said Natalia Lorena Cappetti was in stable condition in a hospital, where she was taken with wounds to her legs and stomach.

Capetti's husband and a Spanish couple were also in the car but were unhurt. Police said the gunmen fled without stealing anything.
