US child shot during car chase by army in northern Mexico

Officials in the northern Mexican border state of Tamaulipas say a U.S. toddler was shot in the back by Mexican army personnel when her family's car apparently got in between a military patrol and a vehicle carrying suspects.

Guadalupe Salinas, the head of the federal prosecutors' office in the state, said Wednesday that another girl in the car was grazed by a bullet and a woman suffered slight wounds from bullet or glass fragments.

Salinas said Wednesday the injuries of the 1-year, 8-month-old girl aren't life-threatening. She is being treated in San Antonio, Texas.
