A group of students were protesting the bombings in Afganistan
when police responded to the demo with violence. A group of
students were confronting police forces who had invaded university
campus when Carlos was shot at around noon. Police commander
denies police are responsible for the shooting but a number of
witnesses confirm the shot came from behind police lines.

Police occupied the campus for the whole afternoon. By night a lot
of students were camping in the university and preparing protests
for Thursday.
The University will be closed today and tomorrow.
Reports of this have yet to appear in Corporate media anywhere.
