"Red shirt" sympathisers congregate on the corner of Witthayu road (Wireless road) and Rama 4 at the beginning of the evening of May 13. News that the "red shirt" leader Khattiya Sawasdipol, a.k.a. "Seh Daeng" (<i>Red Commander</i>), was shot in the head by a sniper a bit over an hour earlier, had spread. The small contingent of security troops guarding the nearby entrance to Lumpini Park, containing one of the "red shirt" camps, and the southern end of Witthayu road, left quickly.
