2 journalists killed, 7 injured, in attack at Haitian hospital

At least two journalists were among those killed and seven others injured when suspected gang members opened fire in a Christmas Eve shooting at the General Hospital in the downtown area of Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, according to news reports and two Haitian journalists who witnessed the attack.

The journalists were attacked around 11 a.m. Tuesday as they waited for Health Minister Duckenson Lorthe Blema to reopen a wing of the hospital, which was closed following a gang attack earlier this year.
