OAXACA, Mexico (AP) - Violence in a troubled Mexican province has left an American journalist from New York dead and several other people injured.
Protesters in Oaxaca (wuh-HAH'-kah)have barricaded streets and occupied government buildings for five months in a bid to oust the governor.
The gunfire erupted in a rough neighborhood when armed men tried to remove a blockade set up by protesters. Both sides fired but it's not clear who shot first.
The American victim was identified by friends as 36-year-old Bradley Roland Will. He was shot in the abdomen and died later at a Red Cross hospital.
An Associated Press video taken at the scene shows people ducking for cover as shots rattle out from many directions.
Will worked for Indymedia-dot-org, an independent Web-based media organization.
