    Macho Camacho is alive and being treated overnight at Puerto Rico hospital. No brain death, either. No further news till tomorrow morning.

    Hope Hector pulls through.Despite his career, seemed like a somewhat decent guy, in a colorful way.

    Macho Camacho is NOT, repeat, NOT dead, man.

    I've followed the Spanish-language tweets from Michelle Estrada, professional journalist at Bayamón, Puerto Rico, and she has confirmed the information I have shared above.

    Cheers.

    Macho Camacho was shot once in the face and suffered Cervical 5 and 6 as well as carotid fractures. The bullet has lodged in his right shoulder.

    I would say he is lucky to be alive. From the looks of it, he has a chance.

    Let's pray for him tonight.

    I hope he pulls through. Given his lifestyle, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.
