 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Protesters angry over the treatment of Haitian migrants in neighboring Dominican Republic clashed with police during a visit by the Dominican president, and at least three people were wounded by gunshots.
Haitian police fired automatic weapons in the air as hundreds of demonstrators threw rocks and burned tires outside the presidential palace, seeking to block the motorcade of Dominican President Leonel Fernandez as he left a meeting with Haiti's interim prime minister and president.
Later, three university students who said they were part of the protest arrived at the General Hospital, next to the presidential palace, with gunshot wounds. One man had a bullet wound to the head, another was shot in the thigh and the third had a bullet wound to the lower leg.
