Wednesday at mid-day, during a police operation in Pétion-ville two individuals on motorbikes were shot dead during an exchange of fire with officers of the National Police of Haiti (PNH).

This incident created a panic in the population near the Caribbean Market and caused a big traffic jam at Metellus Street.

A Justice of the Peace went on the spot for the report before the removal of the bleeding bodies lying on the roadway. Following this police operation, at least two people were arrested in Pétion-ville.
