Mexican prosecutors said Sunday that they have detained a U.S. citizen as the main suspect in the shooting of an official at the U.S. consulate in the western city of Guadalajara.
The federal Attorney General's Office said that "a U.S. citizen was identified and detained for his presumed involvement in the case. This person will be deported to the United States Cheap Kansas City Chiefs Hoodie , to determine his legal situation."
The office expressed its "deep dismay at this cowardly attack" and said the victim remained hospitalized in stable condition.
The identity of the suspect was not released, and authorities did not comment on a possible motive for the attack.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry issued a statement thanking Mexico for the quick arrest.
"On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I want to thank the Government of Mexico for their swift and decisive arrest of a suspect in the heinous attack against our Foreign Service Officer colleague Customized Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys ," Kerry said. "My thoughts and prayers remain with this officer and his family during this difficult time. I wish him a speedy recovery."
The U.S. Embassy has not identified the official who was shot in his car Friday in Guadalajara. Local media identified him as Christopher Ashcraft, whose profile on social networking sites listed him as a consular officer in Guadalajara since 2016.

America's top diplomat stepped back Friday from his offer of unconditional talks with North Korea, telling world powers the nuclear-armed nation must earn the right to negotiate with the United States.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's declaration before the U.N. Security Council marked a stunning reversal after he proposed discussions with Pyongyang without preconditions earlier this week. That overture was almost immediately rebutted by White House officials.
Still, Tillerson had planned to reiterate his call at a special U.N. ministerial meeting on North Korea at the council Friday morning. His prepared remarks suggested only that North Korea would have to undertake a sustained halt in its threatening behavior before talks could begin. But Tillerson changed the script.
"North Korea must earn its way back to the table Armani Watts Chiefs Jersey ," Tillerson told the foreign ministers. "The pressure campaign must and will continue until denuclearization is achieved. We will in the meantime keep our channels of communication open."
The debate over offering North Korea unconditional talks reflects the differences within the Trump administration as it runs out of time to prevent North Korea from perfecting a nuclear-tipped missile that can strike the U.S. mainland. President Donald Trump has vowed to prevent such capability, with military action if necessary.
So far, U.S.-led sanctions on North Korea and diplomatic isolation haven't compelled Kim Jong Un's government to stop its nuclear and missile tests Dorian O'Daniel Chiefs Jersey , or to seek negotiations.
Asked Friday if he supported unconditional talks, Trump did not answer directly.
"Well, we're going to see what happens with North Korea. We have a lot of support. There are a lot of nations that agree with us — almost everybody Derrick Nnadi Chiefs Jersey ," Trump told reporters.
"We'd like to have Russia's help — very important," said Trump. He raised it in a Thursday phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
