(CNN) A Mexican journalist was shot Monday as he was about to go live on air and died in hospital later the same day. A special team is investigating the 31-year-old journalist's death, said the attorney general. El Salmantino released a statement on Facebook urging a swift investigation. "Today our colleague, Israel Vázquez, while working as a reporter, was the target of a vile and cowardly attack that took his life," read the statement. "All of us who work at El Salmantino condemn not just this one attack, but all of those that occur daily in the city of Salamanca."
