2 UN police officers from Rwanda shot in Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE: Authorities say two UN police officers from Rwanda have been fatally shot at their residence in northern Haiti.
In a statement, the Rwanda National Police said the two female officers who were serving under the UN stabilization mission in Haiti were shot and killed inside their living quarters in Cap Haitien by unidentified assailants. 
An investigation by the UN mission, Haitian National Police and Rwandan authorities has been launched.
Head of the UN mission Sandra Honore deplored the killings and sent her condolences to the women’s families.
The UN has kept peacekeepers in Haiti since the 2004 rebellion that ousted then-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
