A Venezuelan policeman died after being shot during an opposition protest late Wednesday in the province of Miranda, Minister of the Interior and Justice Nestor Reverol said, adding there were two other officers injured.
Reverol stated that the officer was killed after the police tried to disperse an opposition march to preserve public order on the Panamerican highway in San Antonio de los Altos, adding that two suspects were in custody.
The right-wing had called for a "Taking of Venezuela" march, provoking clashes that led to more than a hundred injuries.
One of the two officers' injured was shot and the other was struck with a blunt object.
