Six shot dead in attack on Guyana paper

Gunmen stormed Guyana's largest newspaper late last night, killing at least six people and wounding three. During the attack on the Kaietuer News in Georgetown they ordered print staff to lie on the floor before shooting them and fleeing. The motive was unclear, but the attack comes amid preparations for a general election later this month. Police believe there may be a link to the simultaneous demonstration by prisoners at a local jail who were protesting at overcrowding and a shortage of water. (Via Boston.com / News)
