Robbers Wound US Man Playing Pokeman Go in Ecuador
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS QUITO, Ecuador — Aug 9, 2016, 6:19 PM ET
Ecuadorean police said Tuesday that robbers shot and seriously wounded a U.S. man as he was playing Pokeman Go in a park in the coastal city of Guayaquil.
The victim, Mitchell Cleve Williams, had come to the South American country recently to marry an Ecuadorean woman, police said. He was playing the game at a park Sunday night when two youths approached him and demanded his cellphone. When he resisted, they shot him.
The 35-year-old was reported in serious condition at a hospital in Guayaquil.
Police said they couldn't give the man's hometown and the U.S. Embassy declined to comment.
