Intruder Shot at U.S. Embassy

A man identified as a Russian soldier was shot and wounded on the grounds of the U.S. Embassy compound after breaking in and apparently trying to steal a car, officials said. The report conflicted with that given by Russian police, who said two soldiers broke into the embassy and were stopped by a Marine guard, who opened fire, the Interfax news agency reported. One man was wounded and was turned over to Russian authorities. Interfax identified him as Yevgeny Taynakov, 23. A man suspected of being the second intruder was seized by police near a subway station, Interfax said.
