Violence in Mexico is reaching into places once considered safe, a hospital worker was gunned down inside a social security hospital in Montemorelos, Nuevo León. Luis Yerena, known among colleagues as El Chato, was shot and killed in the early hours of Saturday, May 24, in an incident that has left the country's medical community shaken.
Yerena had just finished his shift at Hospital General de Subzona No. 11 when he noticed he was being followed. Security footage and early reports suggest he ran back into the facility seeking safety. But the gunmen followed him in, straight into the area where patients receive care, and opened fire.
