Clashes between pro-democracy protesters and police broke out in multiple parts of Hong Kong on Tuesday, with at least one person shot and 31 wounded in the most widespread violence challenging Chinese rule as the Communist Party celebrated its 70th year in power.
The single pistol shot fired by the officer as protesters swarmed toward him hit the 18-year-old on the left side of his chest, said Yolanda Yu, a police spokesperson. She described the protesters as "rioters" and said the officer feared for his life.
The wounded protester was taken to hospital for treatment, she added, without giving details about his condition.
As well, two of the wounded are in critical condition, Hong Kong's Hospital Authority said at 6 p.m. local time.
Video of the apparent shooting spread quickly on social media. The footage appears to show an officer opening fire as a protester comes at him with a baton, striking the officer's shooting arm.
Taken by the City University Student Union, the video shows a dozen black-clad protesters hurling objects at a group of riot police and closing in on the lone officer, who is seen pointing his revolver and opening fire at the protester. The protester then collapses onto the street, bleeding from below his left shoulder.
