PORT-AU-PRINCE: Police and civilian self-defence groups killed 28 gang members in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince in an overnight operation, authorities said on Tuesday, as the government seeks to regain some control of the city.
Officers stopped a truck carrying gang members in the wealthy suburb of Petion-Ville at about 2:00 am, while a bus ferrying gang members was intercepted in the city center, Haitian National Police spokesman Lionel Lazarre said.
Police opened fire in both encounters, killing 10, and then chased down those who fled with the help of self-defense groups, formed by residents opposed to the gangs and their violent rule over swaths of the country.
