A special unit &quot;detained the attacker of the consular official,&quot; the Jalisco state prosecutor&#39;s office said on Twitter.

The consular official was shot when driving out of a shopping centre&#39;s garage. The consulate posted a video on Facebook showing the shooter, dressed in blue, waiting outside a parking garage, raising his gun and firing at the car on Friday.&nbsp;

A US government official said the American is a vice consul, AFP reported.

The FBI had offered a $20,000 reward for information about the shooter.

The latest attack prompted the US embassy to issue a security message on Saturday urging US citizens in Guadalajara to &quot;restrict their movements outside their homes and places of work to those truly essential.&quot;

&quot;They should also take care not to fall into predictable patterns for those movements that are essential,&quot; the message continued. &quot;They should vary the times and routes of their movements.&quot;
