Two environmentalists blocking a road in Panama during a protest about mining rights have been killed after an elderly driver attempting to get past the demonstration left his car and shot them at close range.
The shooting happened on a section of the Pan-American Highway, in the Chame district, about 55 miles west of the capital, Panama City.
In a video captured by news photographers who were covering the protest, the suspect, identified on local media as a 77-year-old man with joint Panamanian and American nationality, can apparently be seen walking towards the group of demonstrators and appearing to ask them to move.

I hate how the protesters aren’t getting in trouble
They are literally disrupting traffic and blocking the roads
警官がおじいさんより先に環境活動家を排除出来ていれば起こらなかった悲劇。
だが、私は環境活動家に同情はしない。
これは私という日本の一般市民の一人の感想であり、日本を代表する意見では無い。
Get out of the road .
They kidnaped him by holding him hostage in the road.
Yo escuche clarito, por que no dispara? Y disparo y ahi si a gritar?
