Hong Kong police shot a pro-democracy protester at close range, leaving him critically injured, in a fearsome escalation of anti-government demonstrations that spread across the semi-autonomous Chinese territory on Tuesday as the country celebrated its 70th anniversary. 

Video of the shooting that spread quickly on social media appeared to show the officer opening fire as the protester came at him with a baton, striking the officer’s shooting arm. 

The South China Morning Post reported that the protester, a 17-year-old student, was taken to a hospital and was undergoing surgery.
