Tension rises in Thailand after protesters shot
Gunshots have rung out in the heart of Thailand’s capital in an apparent attack on anti-government protesters that wounded at least two people and increased tensions amid the deepening political crisis.
The city’s emergency services office said one man was hit in the ankle and a woman in the arm in the shooting, on a street leading to one of Bangkok’s glitziest shopping districts that has been occupied by camping demonstrators trying to bring down prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s government since Monday.
