Paraguayan World Cup player Cabanas shot in Mexico

MEXICO CITY — A player on Paraguay’s World Cup team is in critical condition after being shot in the head at a Mexico City bar.

Salvador Cabanas plays for Club America in Mexico and was slated to play for Paraguay in the World Cup that begins in June in South Africa.

Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Angel Mancera said on Monday that two suspects have been detained. He says it’s not clear whether they were robbing Cabanas or had gotten into an argument with him.
