Police vehicles and a yellow police line cordon are pictured near at a crime scene after a journalist from National Geographic was shot in the leg late Friday while interviewing an alleged drug dealer, who was killed when four armed men stormed in on the interview, according to a statement from the Chihuahua State Attorney General's office, in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico October 4, 2019.
The journalist was part of team of four from the international magazine who were recording the interview when the shootout occurred, according to a statement from the Attorney General’s office of Chihuahua state.
Well done. Shooter is fighting for freedom and democracy!
Did he work for CNN? 👍
TRump days the press is the enemy if the people : Come on people . When they cut your Social Security and medicare you will then understand . Wake the F up .
I'm sure he knew the risks before going to speak with Mexican Drug Lords
Reporters risking their lives to bring us the news journalism RealNews reporters media respect
Pretty ballsy, or stupid, to go interview these dudes. Whole other game there.
It would have been ironic if they were shot by chihuahuas
Mejico, Mejico!
I thought guns were illegal in Mexico?
All the more reason to thank ICEgov and CBP. They do an amazing job in the face of grave danger. 🇺🇸 FinishTheWall POTUS
WTH? 🙄😔
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
lookner
A
I love National Geographic, but not that much.
And life is sacred ... so much violence in the world. Makes me sad. If people don't care for each other, they certainly won't care for their cats (and dogs or any animal in their care).
Juarez is not a safe place for visitors or residents. The fact that the journalist’s injury is more newsworthy more than the DAILY violence of this area that sits at our doorstep should tell us all something about our priorities.
Remind me never to interview drug dealers ESP in Mexico
Kindly report headline accurately! conveniently left out “in a drug dealer’s home” !! Deliberately put himself and his crew in danger ... druglord in America you go to school as a child and your child is shot dead. Massshootings in American schools where children are learning
Mexico: Too far from Heaven, too close from America.
Omg how scary!! Please stay away from there!! It’s very dangerous & u can get killed!!
Mexico! A beautiful country. Clean up your act! You’re preventing your own self-realisation as a fantastic art and culture destination. I miss you but no way going to visit with kidnapping/theft and killing so prevalent. Sad!
Wow, what a shocker (three fingers).
That could have been avoided
Good. Maybe the media will have a look at why we're building the wall.
No mention of the actual person who died?
Tragic.
Meanwhile the US is the most dangerous country for people wanting to watch 'The Joker' in theaters. Check yourselves
So u r surprised someone was shot in Mexico?
That’s Mexico for ya
Acosta any comment on gun control In mexico
This cant be real. Guns are mostly banned in Mexico.
In Juarez... an interview regarding dtuf cartel in Mexico... results in someone being shot... Lets just be glad the journalist was only shot in the leg.
And first place medal goes to drugs for winning the war on drugs.
This is why lol we need the wall built!
When you play with fire, this is what happends.
😢🤨😠😡
DontGoToMexico
Well when you play in a playground full of Small time Narcos, Bad shit happens. 💯
Sorry to hear this
Mexico has one gun shop (on a military base) and VERY strict gun control. Criminals find ways to get guns on the black market no matter what country they reside. Hope the wounded journalist has a speedy recovery.
Journalists really this stupid hanging out with gangsters.
He's lucky they didn't kill him. In the leg was probably a warning.
This is the cruel reality in Mexico, the president is doing nothing against the crime.
Damn the dedication is real! This is real journalism
Good we know the role media ( George Soros) plays w/ Drugs & Courts!
Status quo
And people still wonder why Cheeto Jesus wants a wall. 🤔
They clearly didn’t want to kill him otherwise they would have, he’s very lucky to be alive considering how things are in Mexico.
And did he think he was going be safe just because he was interviewing him
Good
BuildTheWall
Build that wall
Not the same as sitting in a MSNBC/CNN studio talking shit about Trump is it.
Yep, NarcoMexico is getting crazier as time goes by. AY Caramba 💥😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖
Wtf. Who knew working for National Geographic was so dangerous. Stop the world. Hope he’s ok
elpasochallenge Mexico is a loving caring country
National Geographic interviewing drug dealers. So no reason to buy that anymore. They seriously changed when sold out to corporate overlords
Well people get decapitated on the streets in Juarez but lets play the violin coz a journalist gets shot trying to interview a drug dealer
who is the journalist? we Americans really don't give the them the recognition they need. They work so hard to give us the coverage of issues that top officials keep from us and save this country from disaster
Not the same as sitting in an MSNBC/CNN studio & talking shit about Trump is it.
My chihuahua sends her condolences, asking what tf did you expect interviewing a dealer in Chihuahua? She hopes you left feeling lucky to be alive. truegrit clueless
Play with fire and you’ll get burned.
Not good
I mean, wtf where you expecting if you were interviewing a drug dealer in Juarez. Maybe don’t? commonsense
damn😳
Time to ban firearms in Mexico.
Now he has street cred
Nat geo? Oh, the cartels must not have liked his angle that 'we are all immigrants,' even drug runners, or that climate change is affecting the cartels.
Hats off to journalists everywhere. They routinely risk their lives to ensure the public remains informed
When the media become a literal target by the people they have betrayed- it's time for a change.. EnemyOfThePeople no more.
Yup.. consider him lucky. jtown drug dealer get you killed.
Lol how dumb. I mean what do you think you’re gonna do? “No don’t shoot, I’m just a journalist exposing a drug dealer!” Sorry but you take the risk doing dumb shit like this.
Holy shit!That’s not terrifying at all... Did they mark that possible scenario down on their Pre Work Hazard Assessment Form? They really should have.
Mexico is always trying so hard to be like the US. Gonna have to shoot more than one journalist, Mexico! USA! USA! USA!
Lol
Ay chihuahua!!
Not cool👎
As sad as that is, I certainly hope people wake up! Let’s not open the flood gates & let them cross illegal into our countries? 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Yeah... let's bring all these people into our country that we can! According to liberals, violent Mexicans are FAKE NEWS.
I’m sure the gunmen fled to America! Democrats will welcome them with open arms! DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
That's smart.🙄
... but did they make the copy deadline? Would hate to miss a scoop
And who thought this was a good idea!! 🤔🤔🤔
!!!!

Ciudad Juarez is a very dangerous city, why would anybody go there? Been there once, and never going back.
👀
But, why is National Geographic doing stories about drugs? 🤷🏼♀️
They should know better
And that boys and girls, is the reason why we are building a wall.
Building that wall sounds about nice right now.
Ohhhh hell, just let them all in...no borders! Big mean Trump. Dumbasses!
BuildTheWall
Hope for a quick recovery. Keep fighting the good fight
BuBuut mexico doesnt have cwiminawls
So so so bad. THE MOST dangerous country for journalists
GUNNERSOLIS
Who knew Dick Chaney would be there
What a hellhole is that place!
Lo siento.
🙏🏻
Hope for a quick recovery and that it was the leg not somewhere else.
Should have stayed in America
Lesson of the day: Don’t interview drug dealers in Mexico 😂
F
You don’t say!
I hope the journalist gets well soon
National Geographic interviewing an alleged drug dealer of course something was going to go wrong. They don’t want information getting out.
And some of you wonder why we need a wall on our southern border. 🙄
Sicario 3 looks promising
PLEASE SEND CNN TO INVESTIGATE!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey if it was a fastandfuriousweapon, will the DOJPH finally bring down EricHolder and House impeach BarackObama? LockThemUp
That sucks. Hope she/he is on the mend
Did the guy just get out of a showing of The Joker? Theres ya headline you trigger-happy news outlets.
This is 2019 and Mexico still has not curb the drug violence an drugs this has been going on for decades and million of dollars were paid to this country something is corrupt down there realDonaldTrump w_terrence
lol rip I guess
What were the odds? 100%?
Footage from the interview...
I guess Trumps comments about shooting people at the border made the news and his swampy moat ideas.
Didn’t Barry sell the guns to the mex gangs
NatGeo as Mexican I can tell you it's not worthy risking your people that way. You just can't trust anything related to drug dealers, drug lords, the cartels. Just no. SafetyFirst journalism
I’d suggest since you don’t want Mexicans in America you shouldn’t go to Mexico.
If there was someone with a concealed carry permit there they would have stopped it for sure.
Trump has advanced US Mexico relations giving way for an opportunity for a new Alamo style meeting
ioangrillo
Maybe the journalist should Arm up..buy a gun and learn how to use it for protection..
impossible. gun laws in mexico are very strict!
