Editor shot at in Mexico city

MEXICO CITY, Nov 28: One of Mexico’s best-known crusading journalists was shot in what authorities said was an apparent drug hit. Jesus Blancornelas, editor of the weekly Zeta, was hit by three bullets when a group of men with AK-47s ambushed his car and fired several rounds, peppering the car with bullet holes.

His bodyguard shot back, killing one of the attackers before dying himself. Blancornelas was rushed to Tijuana’s Prado Hospital for surgery, and doctors afterward described his condition as “serious.”
