FULL DISPATCH
🇵🇰 Police reportedly opened fire on supporters of Imran Khan's party in northwest Pakistan, as anger grows over the government seizing control of their home province. Islamabad took over Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the province Khan's party runs, kicked out its government and arrested its chief minister. Protesters took to the streets in Bara, a town near the Afghan border, and that's when the shooting reportedly started. The government says it stepped in because the province failed to stop militant violence, but in Bara, the guns were pointed at protesters.
