Moreno Peña is out of danger, as Vuelvas expressed in a radio interview, after being shot four times.

According to his medical report, the wound former governor sustained in the neck was the worst of them all.

The governor was attacked by two men who entered the restaurant where Moreno Peña was having breakfast, according to security videos.

Moreno Peña was having breakfast with another person, whose identity has not been made public due to security reasons.
