A politician fires his gun into the air near Haiti’s parliament, leaving at least two people injured, as anger spills over in the Caribbean country amid fuel and food shortages. Video taken by Reuters shows Senator Jean Marie Ralph Féthière getting out of his vehicle and firing shots in the air after protesters approached him. According to reports, a journalist and a security guard were injured. Demonstrations have rocked the Caribbean nation amid blackouts and fuel shortages, feeding anger at President Jovenel Moïse’s government after last year’s collapse of a supply deal with Venezuela
