BANGKOK – A Thai anti-government protester was killed and several others wounded after an unknown gunman opened fire Saturday at a rally site near the government headquarters in Bangkok, emergency services said.

“The dead man is in his 30s. He was shot in the torso,” a spokesman for the city’s Erawan emergency centre said.

The pre-dawn attack follows weeks of mass anti-government protests – seeking to topple Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra – which have triggered several outbreaks of deadly clashes.
