volverse blanco

[WMX]

Hola todos!

I was reading an article (trying to anyway) y encontre una oracion que no entiendo... es "se han vuelto blancos" Y no logro entender que significa. Me pueden ayudar?

Articulo:
Y en un clima de mayor peligro para los medios, los propios asistentes se han vuelto blancos, informa el Committee to Protect Journalists

Gracias!

I don't think this can mean - they have turned white?

Blanco means white, but it also means "target" in this case, based on teh context, it means "they have become targets". :)

does it mean target as in the store too?

From what Tomisimo says, (and the dictionary) I don't think it means anything other than a target that you shoot at.

Thanks, That answers my question. :)

Sorry for the stupid question, I think I was a little tired when I asked it. Now that I think about it, it doesn't even make sense :(

I always say the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask. :)
