Peru's former President Alan García has shot himself as police came to arrest him.
Casimiro Ulloa hospital in the capital, Lima, said he was in surgery where he was being treated for "a bullet wound to his head".
Mr García is accused of taking bribes from Brazilian construction company Odebrecht - claims he has repeatedly denied.
Officers had been sent to arrest him in connection with the allegations.
Health minister Zulema Tomás said Mr García's condition was "very serious and critical", and that he had to be resuscitated after suffering three cardiac arrests.
"Let's pray to God to give him strength," the former president's lawyer Erasmo Reyna reportedly told journalists at the hospital.

Ah, the Budd Dwyer method.
According to the byline above, this event won’t happen till August 17.
“treated for “a bullet wound to his head”
Just one?
Quick, somebody blame Trump & the NRA!
I hope he gets better so they can shoot him.
Looks like Garcia just died from his injuries.
The last place I’d want to be taken after having sustained a bullet wound to the head is a Peruvian hospital.
“Hey man, nice shot!”
My error.
a blessing for him
Prayers for family and his soul
This man had more honor than Obama and Clinton.
He died.

So, at least in this he was successful.
I had to take Mr. Mercat to one in Cuzco, at 10000 ft. He had strep throat with a fever of 104.
He timed them while they boiled the WWII syringe to make sure it was sterile. Not fun.
