A journalist in Cancún, Mexico, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt Tuesday night after his attacker’s gun malfunctioned. Netzahualcóyotl Cordero García, the director of the online news site CGNoticias, was confronted by a man in front of his home who pointed a gun at him and said, “I am going to kill you like a dog.” After the assailant’s gun failed, Cordero García and his neighbors wrestled the man off his bicycle and held him until the National Guard arrived to make an arrest. At least four journalists have been murdered this year in Mexico, making it one of the world’s most dangerous countries for media workers.
