MX: Journalist's bodyguard foils attack

A Mexican journalist who is known for his "critical writing on organized crime" was in a restaurant while his former military bodyguard waited in the car outside. Three men approached in a reported attempt to steal the car, and the bodyguard confronted them. After the shooting was over one assailant was dead, the second wounded, the third driven off.

Bodyguard is probably a keeper.

This was an obvious failure in the victim selection process. :biggrinjester:
