At least 7 killed as powerful Haiti gang opens fire on church-led anti-crime protest

A gang led by "Jeff" opened fire on a pastor-led protest against crime in the Canaan suburb of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
The attack resulted in at least 7 deaths with more casualties expected; several were injured and an unknown number kidnapped.
Videos show the gang firing machine guns at protesters wearing yellow shirts associated with the church.
Gangs have become more powerful in Haiti since the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, now controlling up to 80% of Port-au-Prince.
The Haitian government has requested foreign military assistance to address escalating gang violence in the country.
