B.C. tourist shot in Mexico
A B.C. man has been seriously wounded after he was hit by stray bullets in Mazatlan, Mexico, his family says.

Dilorenzo's family told the station the target of the shooting was a young man on a motorcycle, but Dilorenzo and another local woman were struck by the stray bullets.
The B.C. man underwent surgery for a severe gunshot wound to the leg, the family said.
