PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Off-duty
police officers and their supporters exchanged
fire for nearly two hours on Sunday with members of the newly reconstituted Haitian army in front of the national palace, in a dangerous escalation of
protests over police pay and working conditions.
At least three police officers were wounded, fellow officers told The Associated Press.
Associated Press journalists saw dozens of men who said they were off-duty officers march with hundreds of supporters toward the palace in the latest in days of demonstrations demanding better pay for Haitian law-enforcement officers.
