Hong Kong Police Fire Tear Gas After Protesters Storm Legislature

Erin Hale

   HONG KONG - Hundreds of riot police in Hong Kong used tear gas to break
   up protestors near the city's legislative complex after thousands of
   demonstrators stormed the building earlier Monday.

   The latest reports say that protestors have dispersed and police are in
   complete control of the legislative complex.

   Earlier, the protesters had battered their way into the building as
   major demonstrations rocked the city on the 22nd anniversary of its
   reunification with China.
