Two U.S. embassy personnel shot at Venezuelan strip club
Two employees of the US embassy in Venezuela were shot and wounded early Tuesday in the capital Caracas, in a murky incident that local media and a police source said took place at a strip club.
We can confirm that two members of the US embassy in Caracas were injured during an incident early this morning, State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell told reporters in Washington.
Medical staff inform us that their injuries are not life-threatening, he added, noting that they were hurt at some sort of a social spot but without specifying the venue or nature of their injuries.
US diplomatic sources later confirmed to AFP that the two men were shot.

who were up to no good...but, at least these ones were "getting it off" and having fun.
Still they are a bit "off their game" since they are supposed to be "under cover." But, hey, these are more "open times."
