Taiwanese president, VP shot
Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian and Vice President Annette Lu were in hospital after being shot on the campaign trail on Friday, television reports and a lawmaker accompanying them said.

Chen was rushed to hospital in the southern city of Tainan, a presidential official said.

TVBS Television said he was wounded in the stomach. Vice President Annette Lu was shot in the leg, Wang Hsin-nan, a lawmaker from Chen’s Democratic Progressive Party told TVBS.

“The bullet hit the vice president in the knee first, then the president,” Wang said. Chen had sustained a deep 30 cm (14 inch) wound across the stomach, said Wang, who was travelling in the president’s motorcade in southern Tainan.
