Police injured hundreds of protesters, killing at least one, and injured more than 26 reporters. One policeman was seen undercover and fired a weapon with live rounds at a crowd in order to get away. Others fired shotguns at fleeing protesters, leading many to believe that the death toll is higher than it seems.
