According to Stars & Stripes<\/a>, a North Korean soldier was shot by his comrades when he escaped to South Korea;<\/p>\n

The North Korean soldier, who was shot in the shoulder and elbow, was airlifted to a hospital by a United Nations Command helicopter, another military official said, speaking on condition of anonymity in exchange for providing the details.<\/p>\n

The South Korean military found him bleeding about 25 minutes after several rounds of gunfire were heard, the official said, adding the North Korean soldier was unarmed and wearing a combat uniform indicating a low rank.<\/p>\n

The military said the two sides did not trade gunfire, but it has raised its alert level and is maintaining a full readiness posture against the possibility of provocations from North Korea.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, an American tourist from Louisiana was arrested by South Korean police as he attempted to infiltrate into the North, according to another Stars & Stripes<\/a> link;<\/p>\n

Military officials initially said they believed the man traveled to South Korea planning to enter the North for political purposes. But investigators, who have turned the case over to local police, later said they had determined he had no communist connections.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Embassy is aware of the report and is looking into it, an official told Stars and Stripes on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it is determined that a U.S. citizen has been detained, the embassy will provide appropriate consular services,\u201d the official said. \u201cPrivacy concerns prevent us from sharing information on individual cases.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The dingus was spotted by an alert South Korean civilian and reported to the police. I’m sure the unidentified 58-year-old has life all figured out. If he hadn’t been caught on the south side of the DMZ, I’m sure his family would be blaming Trump for his capture and demanding a rescue attempt to get his dumbass back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
