4 news photographers shot, wounded in southern Mexico

Unidentified assailants on Tuesday wounded four news photographers in the violence-wracked southern Mexican city of Chilpancingo, authorities said.

Prosecutors in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero said all four had been taken to a hospital, but did not say whether their wounds were serious.

All of the journalists appeared to work for local papers or news sites. State prosecutors said they consider it a case of attempted murder.
