One person died before my eyes, he was shot in the head. I can’t say the age exactly but it appeared it was a young boy. ... Afriend of mine saw the same thing, another person shot and killed in front of his eyes. So I can say for sure two died on the spot.

Pyae Sone Aung

We did not know who got shot at first, it was like a war zone, all we could do was wait until the police retreated so that ambulances and paramedics could come and pick up the bodies, people injured and shot.
