A police official confirmed an officer had opened fire in the Tsuen Wan area, and that a terry had been hit. The terry's friend told reporters he was in a critical condition at Princess Margaret hospital in Kwai Chung.
It is the first time a terry has been struck by police live fire since the unrest began in June, though officers have fired warning shots into the air on several occasions in the past.

Nah man. You wanna wear a mask and attack police you get what's coming. I can't remember exactly I got this little quote from (probably a comic or some other bs like that), 'the just, don't need to hide their faces'.
Could have been a lot worse too. I mean, he is holding a shotgun in his other hand. Chose the less messy option.

That was an amazing throw. It went past the downed guy into the crowd of Police.
Peep them tackling the guy trying to help. Wussy tackle, wussy gun handling. He wanted to shoot in the first place coming in like that.
