Argentina: Prison for gunman in attack against photojournalist and protesters

"The justice system of Neuquén, in the southwest of Argentina, has placed in custody the attacker who shot at press workers and wounded a woman during municipal workers protests who were demanding back pay.

The Argentine Association of Graphic Reporters (ARGRA, for its Spanish acronym) issued a statement contextualizing and condemning what happened. The statement said that 'one of the attackers pulled out a firearm and fired at the march, and then aimed and fired twice at our associate Federico Soto, a photojournalist from the newspaper La Mañana de Neuquén, who was covering the news.'

Although the shots did not hit the photojournalist, a woman who was participating in the march was wounded, the statement said."
