Police and army fire bullets and teargas at Kalerwe vendors protesting colleague's killing

The Observer reports that vendors placed the body of a shot porter in the road and blocked traffic on the Northern bypass on Saturday morning to demand police attention. Police and army were deployed and, according to a hawker and a market chairperson, fired bullets and teargas at travellers and into markets, causing a stampede in which traders lost produce. The situation remained tense for about 30 minutes, witnesses said.
