00:08at hospitals.
00:10One medical professional said a man in his 40s was rushed to the hospital's emergency unit after being shot in
00:16the head at close range during a demonstration.
00:19When he and others tried to hurry into the room to tend to him, he said the agents blocked their
00:24way, pushing some back with their rifles.
00:26The man was pronounced dead minutes later, after which agents placed his body in a black body bag, which they
00:33transferred along with other bodies into the back of a van and drove off.
