Soccer: 2 killed in rioting at Honduran game
Associated Press
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras � A fight between fans at a Honduran soccer game has left two people dead, including a 12-year-old boy.
Fire department chief Carlos Cordero says fans of the Olimpia and Motagua teams fought each other �with everything they had in their hands.� The rioters also battled police who tried to restore order.
Gunfire rang out, killing the boy and a 35-year-old man. Sixteen people were injured, including six who were shot.
It was unclear what provoked the rioting Sunday night.
The violence erupted amid tensions over a June 28 military coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya. There is no indication that the soccer riot had anything to do with politics.
