Congressman Is Shot Dead in Nightclub
From Times Wire Reports
A Colombian legislator was shot to death in a nightclub near Cali, the war-torn country’s third-largest city, police said.
Arcangel Clavijo, 50, a supporter of right-wing President Alvaro Uribe, was shot 15 times by a man who fled, police said. The motive was not known, but Wilson Borja, a fellow congressman, said Clavijo had recently received death threats.
Many politicians have bodyguards, but Clavijo had none with him at the club.
