Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido said he could have been killed during a shooting attack on a protest march in the country's west that wounded a teenage boy.
Guaido had been leading around 2,000 supporters through Barquisimeto city on Saturday when the incident occurred.
A photo released by Guaido's supporters showed a man standing next to a motorcycle, with his face covered, aiming a gun in the direction of the parliament speaker. His team said a 16-year-old boy was later shot in the leg but is now in a"stable condition." They attributed the attack to pro-government vigilantes.
"The dictatorship could have killed me today, without a doubt," Guaido said in a video published to social media after the march.
