Journalists Attacked in California

(Sacramento, California) An angry crowd attacked a local news crew yesterday.

The journalists were hit and pushed by family and friends of a young man who had been gunned down the night before outside an International House of Pancakes restaurant in Sacramento.

FOX 40 News reporter John Lobertini and his cameraperson, Rebecca Little, were assaulted after approaching a group of people standing near a memorial for 27-year-old Chester Jackson set up on the sidewalk outside the restaurant.

Fortunately, serious injury appears to have been avoided. Nevertheless, it's beyond troubling that the crowd resorted to violence.
