Haiti Gang Opens Fire On Protesters

HAITI – At least seven people marching in a big protest organised by a church leader in Haiti, have been shot and killed.

Hundreds of parishioners, some armed with machetes, marched through a suburb of the capital, Port-au-Prince, in a bid to rid the area of gang members.

The gang is said to have opened fire on them with machine guns.

Soaring gang violence in Haiti has left more than 2,400 people dead in 2023 alone.

There are fears the death toll could increase, with several people wounded and others kidnapped.
