A Hong Kong
police officer shot at masked
protesters on Monday morning -- hitting at least one in the torso -- during clashes broadcast live on
Facebook, as the city's rush hour was interrupted by protests.
Footage showed a police officer drawing his sidearm in the district of Sai Wan Ho as he tried to detain a masked man at a road junction that had been blocked by protesters.
A police source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed to AFP that live rounds were fired at more than one protester in Sai Wan Ho and that a statement would be issued.
