“This autonomous body indicates that it was a direct attack against this element, who was transferred to a hospital for medical attention.
“The State Attorney General’s Office, in collaboration with members of the State Coordination for the Construction of Peace and Security in Quintana Roo, is working to find the person or persons responsible for this event, which, the first investigations, point to possible personal revenge.”
The man was alone at the time of the shooting. He was found by fellow firemen who had arrived for a shift. He was transferred to hospital by ambulance.
