Two reporters and a police officer killed after armed men open fire at Haiti hospital reopening

Gunmen target press conference at reopening of Haiti’s largest public hospital after street gangs forced its closure earlier this year

Two reporters and a police officer were killed and others injured on Tuesday when armed men opened fire on a group of journalists who gathered for a government press conference scheduled to announce the reopening of Haiti’s largest public hospital.

Street gangs forced the closure of the State University of Haiti hospital early this year and authorities had pledged to reopen the facility in the capital Port-au-Prince on Christmas Eve. But as journalists gathered to cover the event, the gunmen opened fire.
