GUATEMALA CITY, Jan 28, 2008 (AFP) - Hospital medics rescued an unborn baby by caesarean section after its mother was shot to death in the middle of a fight between rival gangs, doctors said Monday.
Seven-month pregnant Karla Vega Rafael, 19, died on the way to the San Juan de Dios hospital after being shot in the neck during a gang battle in the Amparo II district just northeast of the capital Sunday night.
Medical personnel saw that the fetus still had vital signs and rushed to save the boy, said Doctor Tegualdo Gaete said.
The infant suffered heart failure not long after birth, but was revived and remains in stable condition after being placed in an incubator and on a ventilator.
