A reporter was shot dead in Mexico’s violent northeastern region, making it the 12th killing this year so far in a series of unprecendent attacks that has made the country one of the most dangerous places for the media in the world.
Antonio de la Cruz, 47, was shot on Wednesday at the door of his house in Tamaulipas state capital Ciudad Victoria. He had been heading out with his 23-year-old daughter, who sustained serious injuries in the attack.
