In addition, anti-government protesters from Grand-Goave who had joined those of Petit-Goave at the foot of Morne Tapion, clashed with police who tried to disperse the crowd with tear gas grenades, before shooting at human height, from the place where were agents of the Departmental Unit of Maintenance of the Order (UDMO) hit the crowd of demonstrators and trigger a real panic ..

The partial assessment of these shots is heavy, at least 15 people injured by bullets, most of whom were taken to the Notre Dame Hospital in Petit-Goâve and 6 seriously wounded were taken to Grand-Goâve.
