“Mexican reporter Roxana Ramírez had been working in the southern part of the state of Veracruz for about six months, during which she launched the digital outlet “Impulso,” according to local journalists.

Police sources said the events occurred at 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday in the town of Nanchital, an area considered highly dangerous for practicing journalism.

In the images, which were shared on X and Facebook, two hooded men carrying long guns are seen breaking a metal door with a hammer. Once they force entry, they point their weapons at the occupants of the home, while a man tries to calm them. The attackers then subdue those inside and cut the recording.

Personnel from various police and military agencies deployed a major security operation.”

I'm not a badass, but there'd be a lot of dead people in my yard, for sure.

Terrifying?! For who?! You are more than welcome to break into my house. You will absolutely be leaving in a rubber zipper bag, for real.

You can have a licensed gun in your house in Mexico but it must never leave the house.

@tommix1 ONE, it shouldn't have to be licensed since Mexico doesn't require cartel members to license their guns and TWO, it doesn't have to leave the house when it's "Threat Imminent, Threat Close". I'd still wait until they were inside to fix the problem. We don't want anyone getting away!
