Police stormed a hospital in Burundis capital, shot and killed patients as they searched for men injured in clashes that erupted when a senior army officer announced an attempted takeover of the government, a doctor said. According to Aljazeera, Dr. Antoine, a surgeon at the Bumerec hospital in Bujumbura, said Fridays attack also left some patients injured.

The attack happened on the same day President Pierre Nkurunziza, who was in neighbouring Tanzania when the attempted coup was announced, returned home. We received three patients and they were here in the emergency room after that moment we see a group of policemen arrive here and they began to shoot everywhere, said Antoine, who uses only one name.
