In Baja, California, journalist Luciano Rivera Salgado was shot in the head at a seaside bar early Monday, becoming at least the eighth media worker killed in Mexico this year. It’s not clear whether Salgado was killed because of his work as a journalist. Camera footage from inside the bar reportedly showed other patrons becoming angered when Salgado defended a group of women who were being harassed. The Committee to Protect Journalists has named Mexico the Western Hemisphere’s most dangerous country for reporters.
