Reply #18: Yes, that video explains why Correa's knee was injured [View All]

and how the mob tried to rip off his gas mask in an attempt to have him choke.

Btw, when Correa was taken out of the hospital and driven to the Presidential Palace, four rifle bullets hit the official Nissan Patrol vehicle; three struck the hood and one hit the windshield on the passenger's side where Correa was sitting.

No wounded reported, so assume the vehicle is armored.

So if this is verified, it is now an assassination attempt in addition to the coup attempt.
