Thai anti-government protester shot dead
A Thai protester was killed and four wounded, an emergency official said on Saturday, after an unidentified gunman opened fire on demonstrators whose efforts to topple Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra flared into violence over the past two days.
The shooting came 48 hours after clashes between police about 500 protesters, who are determined to disrupt a snap Feb. 2 election called by Yingluck, outside a voting registration centre in which two people were killed and scores wounded. (Reuters)
