Where did you hear that? The local newscast here in Chile said that he arrived conscious to the hospital and was getting better. I hope he doesn't die.

Paraguay forward Cabanas shot

MEXICO CITY -- A star player for Paraguay's World Cup team was shot in the head Monday in the bathroom of a Mexico City bar.

Salvador Cabanas, a forward for the Mexican team Club America, was in critical condition. He was conscious when he arrived at a hospital where he was being operated on to remove the bullet, team president Michel Bauer told Televisa network.

"He was a bit confused and didn't know what had happened and he was asking where they were taking him and why they were taking him there," Bauer said.

Two suspects were detained and details surrounding the shooting are unclear, Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Angel Mancera told Televisa. Mancera said Cabanas had gone to the bar with his wife and was shot before dawn.

Juan Angel Napout, president of Paraguay's soccer federation, said a doctor would travel to Mexico to accompany Cabanas.

"We are praying for him," Napout said.

The 29-year-old player is a striker for the Paraguayan team that is grouped with defending champion Italy, New Zealand and Slovakia in the first round of the World Cup.

Cabanas has been playing in Mexico since 2003, when he was with the Jaguars. In 2006 he was sold to Club America. He has 125 goals in 218 games in Mexico and is one of the best strikers in the Mexican soccer league.

Steve Bruce, manager of the English club Sunderland, this month expressed interest in signing Cabanas.

Cabanas was honored as South America's soccer player of the year for 2007 by Uruguay's El Pais newspaper, the only time a player in Mexico has won the award. He is a former scoring champion in the Mexican and Chilean leagues.

I for one am disgusted with the situation especially when this man has done so much in that mexican league. And for him to get shot in that soil wow what kind of people do this. I hope he is okay my prayers go out to him and his family.

they are saying that it was a hitman. found a white latex glove outside the bar and when the shot was heard the lights at the bar went out. rumor that Cabañas was involved in a dispute with a Mexican cartel....

I heard that a senator shot him, and that the bathroom was cleaned up afterward.

This is crazy, and sickening.

Another disaster in the world of football after that African cup incident.

Not good for football reputation at all.

I don't know for sure, but nowadays, every lazy dude without a job&has a gun wants money from the well-known football players, using blackmail,kidnapping his relatives,or using criminal threatnings.

And that makes you less interested in soccer? Doesn't make sense. The same happens (or I should say, happens just as rarely) to any wealthy people.

A statement on the Club América website said: "The bullet has not yet been removed from his head, because it is in the back of the head and to remove it could cause more damage than leaving it there for now. Cabanas is suffering from a severe head injury. The situation remains serious, it was decided to remove clots and other debris.

"For now he is under sedation and in the coming days we will monitor developments surrounding our player."

Doctor Ernesto Martinez Duhart, who operated on Cabañas, said: "Salvador Cabañas is in a serious condition but stable."

The Mexico City attorney general, Miguel Angel Mancera, told the television station Televisa: "We don't clearly know the motive behind the injury. According to an initial report it was a shot from a firearm with a frontal entry point and without exit.

"The player is conscious but he has a heart problem, which they're trying to stabilise. We're waiting to see what those arrested have to say. It seems that the attack happened in the bathroom of the bar."

Yesterday he woke up and talked to his family, he recognized everybody. It seems he is on his way to recovery.
The guy who shot him has connections with a huge drug mafia (coke) and wasn't frisked at the entrance of the club, he actually was hugged very friendly by the guard. On the other hand the incident occured past 6:00am wich is illegal for a nightclub to be attending clients.

Sry for any errors, im in a hurry.
