I also have one similar experience from Romania, 1989.
The army encircled us, some 200 people on a square,
and when people shouted that they can shoot if they want,
those soldiers who shot at all, were shooting in the air.
Those 20 people who died were shot not face to face by the army,
but from the back by snipers located in the surrounding buildings.
