A Venezuelan National Guard patrol vehicle Friday entered Colombian territory at the Paraguachón Bridge, in the border peninsula of Guajira, north Venezuela-Colombia, and some gunshots were made, television reporters said in the place.

"The (Venezuelan) National Guard went into Colombian territory, trespassed the border, and apparently guns were shot in both sides," Antonio Hernández, an official with the Colombian Department of La Guajira told reporters, according to AFP.
 
Hernández called for calm among the inhabitants in the zone who threw stones at the Venezuelan patrol. "I am asking people to calm down, because we cannot fall into the trap of provocation," he said.
