Three killed in attack on grocery
Colombian officials say a 6-year-old girl and two other people have been killed in a grenade attack on a grocery store by a 17-year-old. A suspect was immediately captured. The Wednesday morning attack occurred in the Caribbean city of Santa Marta. City security chief Rafael Marquez says police believe extortionists were behind the attack, which also wounded 12 people. He says the assailant was grabbed right outside the store by residents who tried to lynch him, but were halted by police.
