Police seeking protesters in shooting of officer


Police said they are seeking four suspects in connection with the shooting of a policeman in the head during a violent street protest in Bangkok.

The Wednesday night incident, in which the policeman was badly injured, was a major escalation in a series of wild melees that began several months ago between police and anti-government protesters demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.
