This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the VTV channel.

“Shooting took place in the cathedral of Gonaives, as a result of which at least one person was killed and several were injured.

The Haitian Prime Minister was not injured, ”the statement reads.

It is noted that an armed gang operating in the area warned the head of government against visiting Gonaives.

In December, the US State Department confirmed reports that missionaries from the United States and Canada had been released from the gangs held captive in Haiti.
