Two US embassy employees shot in Mexico: official

Two US embassy employees were shot and wounded when their car came under fire south of Mexico City. The Mexican Navy says federal police shot at a vehicle carrying two U.S. government employees after the vehicle came under attack from unidentified gunmen.   The shooting appears to have been a case of a confused gunbattle that broke out on a rural road just south of Mexico City.   The Navy said Friday the embassy personnel were heading down a dirt road to a military installation when a carload of gunmen opened fire on them and chased them, along with a Navy officer accompanying them.   Alerted to the gunfire, a federal police patrol vehicle came to the scene and apparently opened fire. The statement does not make clear whose bullets injured the U.S. workers.
