Editor and PublisherCHICAGO A Mexican newspaper reporter who was investigating the murder of U.S. video journalist Brad Will during last fall's street clashes in Oaxaca was shot twice outside his home, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reported Thursday.
CPJ said the reporter for the Oaxaca-based daily Tiempo, Misael Sanchez Sarmiento, was wounded in the jaw and leg in the attack Tuesday. He was in stable condition Wednesday after surgery, the New York City-based organization said.
Sanchez heads Tiempo's investigative team, and had received death threats last November after reporting on the slaying of U.S. journalist Bradley Will, a documentary filmmaker, and reporter for the Web site Indymedia.
