Paraguayan Congressman Eulalio Lalo Gomes, of the ruling Colorado Party, was killed in the wee hours of Monday during a fudgy police raid at his home in the city of Pedro Juan Caballero (PJC). The operation had been ordered by a judge as part of a money laundering investigation. The South American country's Lower House declared three days of mourning and urged a thorough investigation into the incident. The Paraguayan flag was hoisted at half mast at the Legislative Palace.
