Rio Police Fire Live Rounds at World Cup Protest

SAO PAULO, Brazil — Witnesses in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro say police fired live rounds in two separate incidents at Sunday's anti-World Cup protest, held approximately one mile from the city's famous Maracanã stadium during a match between Argentina and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

“We were covering the World Cup protest on 28 de Setembro Boulevard, which was only about 50 people at that point, because police had dispersed the crowds with tear gas and stun grenades,” photographer Leonardo Carrato, who works for the independent Coletivo Carranca media group, told Mashable of the incident
