 Home Current Event Child Killed as Congo Police Evict Illegal Miners: On March 7, 2008, a 10-year-old boy, who was returning home from school in Likas, was shot by a stray bullet, that was fired by a police officer. The police were trying to clear hundreds of illegal miners that were mining in a government-owed copper and cobalt site. The miners started to throw rocks at the police, who in return started to shoot at miners in self defense. The 10-year-old was caught in the crossfire.
