Venezuelan soldier kills two officers 'after dispute'

Prosecutors in Venezuela say a soldier opened fire at an army base in the capital, Caracas, killing two officers and wounding six other soldiers.

The soldier reportedly had an argument with a captain during the change of guard at Fort Tiuna.

He then shot the captain in the head with an AK-103 assault rifle, before shooting dead a lieutenant, the attorney general's office says.

Six other people were also injured.

The soldier, who has been named by the attorney general's office as Jeffersson Jose Trujillo Vasquez, escaped in a car which was later found abandoned in Caracas.
