EL PASO, Texas (Reuters) - A woman pushing her child in a stroller in [color=#366388]downtown El Paso, Texas[/color], was struck by an assault rifle bullet fired from across the border in [color=#366388]Ciudad Juarez, Mexico[/color], on Tuesday, mayor [color=#366388]John Cook[/color] said.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Georgia, Times,]
After [color=#366388]Juarez[/color] police responded to a carjacking about half a mile from the border, a gunfight broke out between police and the carjackers, Cook said. A bullet -- a type used in assault weapons such as M16s -- penetrated and exited the woman's calf, he said.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Georgia, Times,]
The unidentified woman, 48, who was shopping, was treated at a hospital and released with minor injuries, and her child -- whose age Cook did not know -- was not hurt, he said. The mother, a Mexican citizen, is a legal U.S. resident living in El Paso, Cook said.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Georgia, Times,]
"I don't think there's any reason for El Pasoans to panic or for anyone else to panic," Cook said. "El Paso still remains a very safe large city."[/font][/color]
