At least two people were killed and others injured on Tuesday when armed men opened fire on a group of journalists who gathered for a government press conference set to announce the reopening of Haiti's largest public hospital, a witness to the attack told Reuters.
A journalist and a police officer were killed at the scene, the witness said.
Haiti's national police did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for information.
The transitional presidential council said in a post on Facebook that the act would not go without consequences.
"We express our sympathy to all the victims' families, in particular, to the Haitian National Police and all the journalists' associations," it said.
