| Subject: Statist Animals: Police Kill Boy During Protest in Venezuela Wed Feb 25, 2015 3:35 am | |
| CARACAS, Venezuela — A police officer shot and killed a teenage boy during an antigovernment protest in the restive Venezuelan city of San Cristóbal on Tuesday, officials said, as tensions rose over a struggling economy and the recent arrest of a prominent opposition politician.
The interior minister, Carmen Meléndez, said that the officer had been arrested and that he had admitted to firing on the boy, Kluiberth Roa, with a shotgun loaded with plastic pellets. She said the boy had been hit in the back of the neck.
President Nicolás Maduro said later on television that, according to a preliminary investigation, the killing had occurred as masked demonstrators confronted a group of police officers.
“The police said that they were surrounded, beaten and attacked with rocks, and one of the police officers fired his shotgun and killed this boy,” Mr. Maduro said. “I condemn this murder.”
