Two gunmen on a motorbike fired “eight or nine” shots at the SUV the 50-year-old politician was driving and the candidate returned fire, according to police chief General Oscar Arriola.

Three bullets shattered the front window, police said, leaving Mr Belaunde with blood stains on his face and shirt from cuts caused by broken glass, widely seen in images on TV and social media.
