Dominican Republic: Two Radio Journalists Killed
------------------------------------------------

In the Dominican Republic, two radio journalists were shot dead Tuesday
morning after gunmen opened fire in the middle of a broadcast on
Facebook Live. Radio host Luis Manuel Medina of the program "Hot
Millennium" and producer and director Leo Martínez were killed at the
station in San Pedro de Macorís in the middle of the live broadcast,
during which one can hear the sound of a gunshot and then the words
"tiro, tiro," or "shots, shots," before the video cuts out.
