Lionel Messi’s brother in gun terror

The brother of football star Lionel Messi has survived an attempted assassination.
Matias Messi, 28, dived for cover as a gunman on a motorbike sprayed bullets at his house in the Argentine city of Rosario.
Police found four 9mm handgun rounds lodged in the building.
Another two were found embedded in the garage after the shooting at around 10.30pm on Saturday.

Matias was arrested for possession of a firearm in Rosario in October 2008.
He spent nine hours in custody after allegedly being found with a revolver.
But Messi’s lawyer Ricardo Giusepponi said Matias was “cleared at a trial because he did not have weapons on him” when he was stopped.
Messi, holder of the FIFA Ballon d’Or as the world’s best player, has played for Barcelona since 2003.
He has helped the team win the Champions League in 2006 and 2009.
He was also part of the winning Argentine team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
