Myanmar has been in an uproar since the military deposed civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi with large street protests seen in major cities and isolated villages alike. At least two were killed in Myanmar's second-largest city as security forces fired live rounds on protestors, emergency workers and doctors said Saturday -- the latest show of force from a junta regime that has faced two straight weeks of anti-coup demonstrations.

The chief of a Mandalay-based volunteer emergency rescue team, said, "Two people were killed." He further added that one of the victims, who was shot in the head, was a teenager. Authorities have responded with increasing force, deploying troops against peaceful rallies and firing tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets, with isolated incidents of live rounds being used. The skirmish started with the demonstrators flinging rocks, but authorities retaliated by opening fire -- sending them fleeing in fear.

A graphic video circulated on Facebook of the boy splayed on the ground and bleeding from his head as a bystander placed a hand on his chest to feel for a heartbeat. Hlaing Min Oo further added, "About 30 others were injured -- half of the injured people were shot with live rounds."
