In Turkey, tensions between citizens and police are flaring up once again in the aftermath of the tragic mine disaster that left 301 people dead.
On Friday, Turks were mourning the deaths of two people during clashes the day before. One of those who had been killed, Uğur Kurt, was a bystander shot in the head by a stray bullet while attending another funeral procession.
A security camera captured the moment Kurt was shot in the video below, which contains graphic content.
Police chief Cihat Kayaer had returned to the crime scene, where he was attacked by demonstrators, according to the local Hurriyet Daily News. He's pictured below, after the incident.

Kayaer hid in a television van to escape the attackers, and was later transferred to a hospital.
After Kurt's funeral, the protests continued, with demonstrators throwing homemade bombs at police officers and pelting police vans with stones. The attack is an indication that Turkish anger at the government and officials, which started last summer with protests at Gezi park and have continued in intermittently since, may be bubbling over.
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan managed to further incite unrest on Thursday, when he said in a speech to members of his ruling party that he "won't remain silent against the blood mongers who use [the mine disaster] as an excuse to break, ravage, attack police and commit murder."
"Do you expect police to stand idly by and watch? I am amazed at their patience," he added.
Erdoğan also downplayed the death of Berkin Elvan, the 15-year-old boy who died in March after 269 days of coma caused by a tear gas canister that smashed his skull.
"Are we to hold a ceremony every time there's a death? He died and it's over," he said.
Pressure against Erdoğan mounted in March as a series of leaks alleging corruption inside his government came out on social media. Erdoğan responded by blocking Twitter and YouTube. Despite outrage over his actions, and the corruption allegations, Erdoğan's party won local elections held at the end of March.
Turkey has experienced ongoing turmoil since last year, when a small protest in Gezi Park in Istanbul spread across the country after a violent police crackdown attempt. Protests were reignited when Elvan died in March and again after the mining tragedy in early May.
