"At about 2 a.m. on Sunday, July 17, unidentified attackers shot at Haro, founder and editor of the Facebook-based news outlet Las Noticias de la Red, in Ciudad Obregón, in the northern Mexican state of Sonora, according to news reports, a statement by his outlet, and Haro, who spoke to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) in a phone interview.
Haro was driving in the area when he heard something hit his car windows; a vehicle then passed him, stopped, and began to turn around, Haro told CPJ, saying, 'That’s when I realized that the people inside it had shot at me.'
Haro escaped the scene unharmed, he said. In a short thread on Twitter, the Sonora state prosecutor’s office confirmed Haro’s car had been hit by bullets and said the gunmen drove a white Honda. The office said it had contacted the Federal Special Prosecutor for Attention to Crimes Committed Against Freedom of Expression to determine whether Haro was attacked because of his work."
