One week after being shot in the head at point-blank range in the toilet of a luxurious Mexico City bar, Paraguayan striker Salvador Cabanas has made a remarkable recovery. After the shooting it seemed that Cabanas was on his death bed, however, he has remained strong, and has been able to communicate with family members. Cabanas has also been able to eat normally.
Even if surgeons couldn´t remove the bullet lodged in Cabanas´ skull, because they deemed it too risky, the Club America striker has made great progress.
Now that Cabanas is conscious he could give his testimony if investigators come to speak to him. But the player is still very confused and doesn´t know why he is in hospital.
Surveillance cameras at the bar captured Jose Jorge Balderas Garza — the prime suspect — leaving the toilet after the shooting.
There were two false reports coming out of Mexico stating that Balderas Garza had been arrested by police. However, they have been denied by the local authorities.
Cabanas was expected to be a key member of the Paraguayan national team for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa which begins in June.

I think the shooter had bad aim was he blind, beacuse from such a short distance how on earth can you fail to kill him. Back in Vietman I shot from niles away with my sniper and always did the job. from close distance I would use my machete or swiss army with always good results. Maybe he wanted only to harm his right side of the brain so he cant play as well and it was so that PAraguay will not pass the group without his goals. Was the shooter mexicane or from the countries Paraguay will play. Maybe a Italian MAFIA fugitive did his job wrong
