Nepal police shooting kills 4

A four-year-old boy was among four people killed late Tuesday when police in Nepal opened fire on a crowd of people demonstrating against a new national constitution due to be introduced this week.
Police said they opened fire after protesters threw petrol bombs and stones at security forces, attacked police vehicles and vandalised a local police station in the southern district of Rupandehi.
More than 40 people have died in fierce clashes between police and protesters in Nepal's southern plains that erupted after the main political parties reached a historic deal on a new constitution, under pressure to work together following a devastating earthquake in April.
They include 11 police and the 18-month-old son of a police officer shot dead when protesters opened fire outside his home.
Nepal began working on a new national constitution in 2008, two years after the end of a decade-long Maoist insurgency that left an estimated 16,000 people dead and brought down the 240-year-old Hindu monarchy, according to BSS.
