### In Tijuana: Man Attacked by Gunfire in Aguaje de la Tuna
On the night of Wednesday, August 7th, a man was assaulted with gunfire in the Aguaje de la Tuna neighborhood, first section. The suspected assailants managed to flee the scene.
Initial reports suggest the incident occurred around 8:00 PM behind the Valle Sur Motel, located on the Libramiento roadway. An officer, identified as the bodyguard of Mayor Montserrat Caballero Ramirez, heard the gunshots and reported that a person had been injured. The bodyguard had just escorted the mayor to the Military Barracks after her presentation of the third government report and called for backup as well as an ambulance.
At first, there was some confusion as the bodyguard’s identity led many to believe that the mayor or her escort might have been the target. However, it was later confirmed that the attack was aimed at a civilian.
Witnesses reported that the attackers fled in a white-and-black Metropolitan Taxi, heading towards the Miraflores colony.
