Mother says son was shot dead in front of her by a policeman
Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN)Tires were burning in nearby streets. Tear gas was in the air. Crowds were gathering. So Pricil Journal told her son Roberto to hide the wheelbarrow they used as a cookie stall outside the general hospital.
There was a snap and a loud crack — and Roberto lay dead. A bullet had torn through his right arm, just above the elbow, and into his chest.
In almost two weeks of mayhem, since Haiti was shut down by opposition protestors demanding the president and his government step down, there have been no official numbers for those killed and injured.
