NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A gunman went live on Facebook to warn he was taking his "final journey" before firing at a protest against India's new citizenship law in Delhi on Thursday, wounding a student.

The shooter, dressed in a black jacket, brandished a single-barrel weapon as he stood metres away from dozens of policemen outside Jamia Millia Islamia University, where more than 1,000 protesters had gathered for a march.
