Black South Africans angered by the cost...

Black South Africans angered by the cost of living started a riot in which a 14-year-old girl was wounded by gunfire and tear gas was fired, police reported. The trouble began when thousands of residents gathered at a stadium at Katlehong township, southeast of Johannesburg, and threw stones at officials. They then set fire to a beer hall, stoned shops and vehicles and hurled two gasoline bombs at a black officer’s home. In the police counterattack that followed, one man was arrested. Officers did not shoot the girl, police said.
