HONG KONG — Police in Hong Kong shot a protester as demonstrators blocked subway lines and roads during the Monday morning commute. Online video showed a police officer collaring one protester and then shooting another who approaches. The officer fired again as a third protester approached. The shooting occurred in a crosswalk at a large intersection strewn with debris that had backed-up traffic in Sai Wan Ho, a neighborhood on the eastern part of Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong is in the sixth month of protests that began over a proposed extradition law and have expanded to include demands for greater democracy and police accountability.
