Haiti - Port-au-Prince : Pre-Carnival activities, 3 dead and more than 30 wounded
Inspector Gary Desrosiers, deputy spokesman of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) reported on the 4th Sunday (February 3) of pre-carnival activities in Port-au-Prince: two people were killed by balls including a police offcier on the Champ-de-Mars; a person was found dead in Pétion-Ville; Thirty wounded were reported (20 in Port-au-Prince and 10 in Pétion-ville), including one wounded in critical condition, 11 seriously wounded and 18 slightly wounded.

Gary Desrosiers said the incident where a police officer Pierre Mackendy, 39, agent III assigned to the police station in Port-au-Prince, lost his life happened near the Rex Theater during a shooting between the police officer and an individual that the police did not identified.
