Thousands gather in San Salvador to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the assassination of Monsignor Oscar Romero. On March 24th, 1980, Monsignor Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, was gunned down by a sniper while giving a mass in the chapel of the Divina Providencia Hospital. Monsignor Romero had become a recognized critic of violence and injustice and was therefore perceived as a dangerous enemy by certain military and right wing groups in El Salvador.
