TV reporter shot by Guatemala lynch mob

Guatemalan TV journalist Rudy Toledo was shot and wounded, and three other local reporters were attacked by a lynch mob who had just killed a suspected of gangster. The group of about 100 people attacked the reporters with guns, bats and rocks in the northeastern province of Quiché. Police intervened to pull the journalists to safety. Toledo was airlifted to a hospital in Guatemala City with gunshot wounds to his leg. (Via Committee to Protect Journalists)
