Ecuadoran wounded in shooting at Wyo. camp

A rock climber from Ecuador is recovering from a gunshot wound he received at a campground near a popular climbing location in northern Wyoming. Jose Mosquera (MOHS'-kehr-uh) is being treated at a hospital in Billings, Mont., where he is in stable condition. Mosquera's companion says the two were camping at Leigh Creek Campground in Ten Sleep Canyon when they fled their tent early Monday because of a falling tree limb and rock. She says that while the two were running to their car, Mosquera was struck in the chest by a bullet. She says she saw someone rustling in the bushes and Mosquera heard a vehicle drive away. Washakie County Sheriff Steve Rakness was not immediately available for comment.
