Mexico ex-governor Fernando Moreno injured in attack
3 hours ago
Gunmen in Mexico have attacked the former governor of the western state of Colima.
Fernando Moreno Pena, who governed Colima from 1997 to 2003, was having breakfast in a restaurant in the state capital when two gunmen opened fire. Mr Moreno Pena was hit six times but doctors said his injuries were not life-threatening.
The motive for the attack is not known. It comes five years after another ex-governor of Colima was shot dead.
. . .
Mr Moreno Pena was hit in both arms, in his hand, his thorax and his neck. Officials said that the fact that the man Mr Moreno Pena was having breakfast with was not injured led them to believe the ex-governor was the target.
