Mexican Olympic medalist Noe Hernandez said Wednesday that the gunshot wound to the head he suffered at a nightclub late last month was not accidental.

“They wanted to attack me or something like that because the shot was almost, almost planned,” Hernandez told Televisa’s "Primero Noticias" morning news show about the Dec. 30 attack at a metropolitan Mexico City bar that also left two dead and one other person wounded.
