Haiti riots update

I have a little more information on the rioting in Haiti for the past three days.

On September 30th the police opened fire on unarmed demonstrators provoking an attack against a unit of the Unite de Securite Presidentielle (U.S.P), a special security detail assigned to Interim President Boniface Alexandre.

Members of the special police unit were seen firing on demonstrators and collecting bodies before masked gunmen returned fire killing three and wounding a fourth who later died in the hospital. Residents of Bel Air claim that six persons were wounded and one killed during last night̢۪s police raid.

There are no reports of casualities from the police who have yet to acknowledge the nighttime raid.
