Camille Marcelus, right, Haitian National Police Director of the country's Artibonite Department, is seen in this September 27, 2003, file photo folding the Haitian flag with an unidentified anti-riot officer, left, after it was taken down in Gonaives, Haiti. Marcelus was shot and injured on Sunday, Oct. 26, in a shoot-out with members of the "Cannibal Army" gang which once took to the streets to support Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide but has been in revolt against the government, holding the city virtually under seige and calling for Aristide's resignation, ever since their leader Amiot Metayer was found murdered over a month ago. Local Radio Etincelle reported that Marcelus and one other policeman were injured in the 15-minute shoot-out, and that an unidentified 14-year-old girl was shot and killed as she was coming out of church.
