Somali TV reporter and anchor Abdulkadir Omar Abdulle survived an attack by two gunmen who shot him four times near his home in Mogadishu.
He managed to flee inside his house, suffering from bullet wounds to his stomach and legs, before the gunmen could finish the job, said an eyewitness.
It is thought that Abdulkadir, who works for Universal TV, may have been targeted by insurgents from the militant Islamist group, Al-Shabaab, who disagree with his political reporting.
"Journalists working in Mogadishu continue to pay a terrible price for doing their jobs," said a Committee for the Protection of Journalists spokesman.
Last month, Somali radio journalist Mohamed Nur Mohamed survived a shooting in Mogadishu. Six journalists have been killed in Somalia this year.
