A photojournalist was wounded after a Haitian lawmaker opened fire on an angry crowd that surrounded his car.
Senator Jean Marie Ralph Fethiere fired several shots from at an angry mob of protesters that had assembled outside the country’s parliament in Port-au-Prince. A bullet fragment hit Chery Dieu-Nalio, an Associated Press photographer, in the jaw, while a second man, identified as a security guard, was also wounded. The injuries were not life-threatening, according to reports.
