TAIPEI - THE son of Taiwan's former vice president Lien Chan was shot in the face on Friday while campaigning for the ruling Kuomintang party a day before local elections, according to party officials.
Sean Lien was admitted to hospital after he was shot although 'his brain wasn't hurt and his life is not in danger,' senior party official, Wu Den Yih, said.
'We are shocked and saddened at hearing this,' he told reporters.
Mr Lien was about to go on stage during an election-eve rally in Taipei county when a man approached him and shot him in the face, according to local media reports.
'The offender was caught at the scene,' Mr Wu added.
