Ex-governor dies after shooting in Venezuela
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5inQwtfpe8s9UJqFQmHKf99X6-zpQ?docId=26f82c8ebe3d4bf98977cc9e4f47ef19CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A former state governor in Venezuela has died more than a week after being wounded in a shooting at a restaurant.
Former Apure state Gov. Jesus Aguilarte underwent multiple surgeries for his wounds after being attacked by a gunman on March 24. He had been hospitalized in Maracay in central Aragua state, where the shooting occurred.
-------------
Aguilarte was an ally of President Hugo Chavez but resigned as Apure's governor last year, saying he had health problems. His resignation came after Chavez criticized Aguilarte's performance as governor.
