Presenter Luis Manuel Medina and radio producer Leo Martinez have been killed live on a radio broadcast in Dominican Republic. Police said the journalists were shot on Tuesday in San Pedro de Macoris, east of the capital Santo Domingo.
Three men have been arrested in connection to the incident, but have not been charged and police say they do not know the motive.
One of the journalists was filming his show on Facebook Live when he was shot.
The footage showed his broadcast interrupted by gunfire and a panicked woman shouting "Shots! Shots! Shots!".
A woman was also injured and is undergoing surgery, said local authorities.
"The investigations have begun and we will try, with all the means in our powers, to reach the truth," Attorney General Jean Rodriguez told the local press.
