U.S. Citizens Warned to ‘Shelter in Place’ as Looting Follows Violent Protests in Haiti

(PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti) — Looters pillaged, burned and vandalized shops in Haiti's capital Sunday following two days of violent protests over the government's attempt to raise fuel prices.

Journalists saw young men stripping shelves bare in some supermarkets that were charred from the protests. Several bodies lay among debris scattered in the streets.

With the situation still chaotic, the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince on Sunday warned U.S. citizens to shelter in place.
