A Thai protester was killed and four others were wounded after an unidentified gunman opened fire on demonstrators, an emergency official said on Saturday.
The shooting came 48 hours after clashes between police about 500 protesters, who are determined to disrupt a snap February 2 election called by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawtra, outside a voting registration centre in which two people were killed and scores wounded.
Petphong Kamjonkitkarn, director of the Erawan Emergency Centre in the Thai capital Bangkok, told a news agency that one man in his 30s had been killed and four others suffered gunshot wounds.
The protesters have been rallying for weeks in their attempt to topple Yingluck, who they see as a puppet of her brother and former premier, billionaire tycoon Thaksin Shinawatra, and have vowed to disrupt the election.
