At least one suspect took an unknown number of hostages today at the Mexican consulate, and a TV news camera later showed a man apparently being shot as he held a woman by the neck.
KNBC-TV broadcast videotape of a man clutching a sign while using a woman as a shield as police followed them down a sidewalk. The man suddenly let go of the woman's neck and fell backwards, as if he was shot. The woman escaped unhurt and police closed in on the man.
