TAIPEI, Taiwan (CNN) -- Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian and Vice President Annette Lu have been rushed to hospital after being shot while campaigning for Saturday's election.

Chen was shot in the stomach at 1:45 p.m. (0545 GMT) Friday but his condition was not critical, the Presidential Office said.

The office said both Chen and Lu were in a stable condition and that the president had urged for calm.

"They did not suffer life-threatening injuries. They urge the public to cool down," Chiou I-jen, secretary-general in the Presidential Office, said at a news conference.

Lu's leg was grazed by a bullet.

Chiou I-jen said weekend elections would go on as planned, but the ruling Democratic People's Party had temporarily suspended its election campaign.

Chen and Lu had been sitting in the back of a convertible four-wheel drive vehicle in the president's hometown of Tainan when an unknown attacker or attackers opened fire.

The crowd was cheering as Chen and Lu waved from the back of their vehicle, and fireworks were being set off along the route as the candidates passed.

Presidential spokesman James Huang told CNN nobody heard any gunshots or initially realized the duo had been wounded because of the noise of firecrackers exploding as the motorcade drove down Tainan's streets.
No arrests have yet been made.

Shock
Video from the parade showed a bullet hole in the windshield of the truck. Blood can be seen on the president's jacket as someone holds a cloth to the bullet wound on the right side of Chen's waist.

"We were shocked and we didn't anticipate this type of event occurring only 24 hours before the election," Huang told CNN.


Chen, seen here with Lu, has been campaigning for a second term in office.
"I guess most people in Taiwan are shocked and they are very concerned about the security of their president and vice president."

Huang said Taiwan's armed forces have been placed on high alert and that the National Security Council was holding an emergency meeting.

Chen has been campaigning for a second term after four years in office.

The presidential elections and a controversial referendum that China considers a harbinger for a vote on the island's independence will be held on Saturday.

The referendum will ask voters to consider if China should reduce its military threat against the island.

Chen has ignored warnings from Washington and Beijing not to take any steps that could fuel tensions with mainland China.

The Chinese government had no immediate public reaction to the news of the shootings.TAIPEI, Taiwan (CNN) -- Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian and Vice President Annette Lu have been rushed to hospital after being shot while campaigning for Saturday's election.
