What started as a hopeful moment, the historic democratic election in Zimbabwe turned violent in Harare Wednesday where protesters clashed as the country waits for the official result from Monday’s presidential vote. “[A]utomatic gun fire was heard as police and the army attempted to disperse protesters. Tear gas and a water cannon were also used as protesters fled the scene,” CNN reported Wednesday. “Burning tires could be seen on the roadside while armored vehicles patrolled the streets and a police helicopter flew above the protesters.” The military was deployed to the capital city to help police maintain order, the government said, and fired on the angry crowds, killing at least three.
