Police used lethal force against a protester in Hong Kong on Oct. 1 in the first such incident since the city's unrest began in spring, the South China Morning Post has reported. Video of the incident showed protesters swarming a much smaller group of police, attacking them with poles and incendiary devices. One officer drew his weapon, which has only occurred a handful of times in the past and has usually forced protesters back. But one of the protesters did not retreat, prompting the officer to shoot him in the chest. The victim remains in critical condition.
