During the peaceful protest, some security operatives showed up, and in an attempt to disperse the aggrieved students shot into the crowd, it was gathered that the bullet hit one of the students, killing him instantly.
Sources say another student sustained an injury to the leg from a gunshot fired by security personnel.
