Journalist shot dead in Mexico conflict

A journalist was one of three people shot dead during the conflict in Mexico's colonial city of Oaxaca. Bradley Roland Will, a cameraman working for Indymedia in New York, was shot in the chest and died before reaching the hospital, according to the independent news group's website report. It appears that Will was caught in crossfire during one of the shootouts that preceded yesterday's police action which resulted in an end to the five-month siege in the city. (Via Reuters)
