MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The U.S. Embassy in Honduras warned U.S. citizens to avoid several locations in the capital due to information it received of threatened mass shootings on Tuesday and on May 16.

In a short statement, the embassy said the three target locations mentioned in the threat were a school, a civic center and an unnamed mall in Tegucigalpa.
