Reuters: Eight electrocuted in Caracas looting amid Venezuela protests: firefighter
Eight people were electrocuted to death during a looting incident in Caracas, a firefighter said on Friday, amid violent protests against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by opponents accusing him of seeking to create a dictatorship.
The accident occurred when a group of looters broke into a bakery in the working class neighborhood of El Valle, according the firefighter, who asked not be identified. It was not immediately possible to confirm details of the incident with hospital or other officials.
The public prosecutor's office said later on Friday it was investigating 11
deaths in El Valle, adding that "some" victims had died from being electrocuted.
