Violence between Ukrainian police and protesters kills seven people, including one police officer. On Tuesday, protesters attempted to march on the Kiev parlimentary, only to be met with riot control and police armed with stun grenades, rubber bullets, and full riot gear. The protesters want the current president, Viktor Yanukovych, to resign out of office and for a constitutional reform. What caused the violence was unclear, but had ended with damage to property all over the city. The protesters took up bricks and used them as a weapon against the police, and the offices under President Yanukovych's control. Of the seven people killed, one was allegedly an office employee at one of these buildings. In total, 3 bodies were found inside the building and three more on the streets. Considering the previous weeks of protesting, this was the most violence seen.
