In Separate Attacks, Two Mexican Journalists Targeted Within 24 Hours

HeadlineMar 30, 2017

In Mexico, journalist Armando Arrieta was hospitalized Wednesday with severe injuries after he was shot four times as he arrived at his home in the state of Veracruz. The shooting came less than a day after an unknown assailant shot and killed a bodyguard for another Mexican journalist—Julio Omar Gómez—after his home in Baja California was set on fire. There have been at least five attacks on Mexican journalists so far this month, and Mexico’s Human Rights Commission says over 120 journalists have been killed since 2000.
