Nicaraguan police shot and wounded a Nicaraguan man inside the U.S. Embassy compound in Managua after he asked to see an American diplomat and fought with a policeman, embassy spokesmen said. Spokesmen said the man, identified as Roger Kems, 21, was on U.S. Embassy property when a Sandinista officer fired two rounds from a rifle, wounding him in the groin. Nicaraguan officials said Kems was shot while outside embassy grounds and that Americans pulled him onto embassy property after he was wounded. Kems’ motives were unclear.
