Mexico: Newspaper Intern Killed

Mexico: Newspaper Intern Killed

A 21-year-old photography intern for a newspaper in Ciudad Juárez was shot and killed, and another intern was wounded in an attack Thursday at a shopping mall parking lot, their employer said. The shooting comes a week after the Committee to Protect Journalistsreleased a report documenting the deaths or disappearance of more than 30 journalists since Mexico began a crackdown on traffickers that have left more than 28,000 people dead. Eight journalists have been killed this year, the group said. The pair of interns, from El Diario de Juárez, were attacked in their car by gunmen firing several rounds, leaving Luís Carlos Santiago dead. His unidentified companion was being treated at a hospital.
