So I can say for sure two died on the spot," said Pyae Sone Aung, a freelance photojournalist from Mandalay who attended the protest. According to Sone Aung, this is when police started firing bullets into the air and chaos broke out. "We did not know who got shot at first, it was like a war zone," Sone Aung said. According to Sone Aung, police used live ammunition, rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons against the protesters. "He was volunteering to help injured persons during the crackdown by the military where he was shot to the head."
