Gunmen in Colombia have seriously wounded the president of the Medellin city assembly, Jhon Jaime Moncada Ospina.

They ambushed Mr Moncada's car and shot him repeatedly in the chest.

The mayor of Medellin has summoned police, civil and military officials for a security summit.

Murders have been on the rise again in Medellin after years in which the city won recognition for successfully tackling its high crime rate.
