Kenya: Police Open Fire On Demonstrators In Nairobi

KENYA – Police in Kenya opened fire on demonstrators attempting to storm Kenya’s parliament Tuesday, resulting in at least five deaths and dozens of injuries.

The chaos erupted as lawmakers inside passed legislation to raise taxes, igniting sections of the parliament building.
