A pastor in Haiti led hundreds of people through a gang-controlled community on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince when they came under gunfire.
A powerful gang opened fire on a large group of parishioners led by a pastor as they marched through a community armed with machetes to rid the area of gang members.
The attack was filmed in real time by journalists at the scene, and several people were killed and others injured, Marie Yolène Gilles, director of human rights group Fondasyon Je Klere, told the Associated Press. She watched online as hundreds of people from a local church marched Saturday through Canaan, a makeshift town in the outskirts of the capital of Port-au-Prince founded by survivors who lost their homes in the devastating 2010 earthquake.Canaan is controlled by a gang led by a man identified only as Jeff, who is believed to be allied with the “5 Seconds” gang.
