New York City Indymedia journalist Bradley Will, 36, was shot in the chest Friday covering protests in Oaxaca City, Mexico. He died before reaching the hospital, according to La Jornada. Oswaldo Ramirez, a photographer from the newspaper Milenio Diario, who was at Will's side, was shot in the foot and reported injured, his status unknown, according to NYC Indymedia reports. Will was a Steal This Radio (Lower East Side, 88.7-FM) alum, according to Al Giordano at Narco News. Even the Associated Press is pointing fingers at the police, and there seems to be many photos, and, presumably, the video footage Will was shooting at the time. Other reports on the NYC Indymedia site say that three others are dead, and a Radio Universidad member was injured. Radio APPO, the radio of the Assembly Popular of the Oaxacan People, are reporting truckloads of armed paramilitaries entering the city. Listen to Spanish feed:
