At least one person died and several more were injured on Sunday, when soldiers clashed with supporters of Honduras' deposed President Manuel Zelaya, who were trying to reach Toncontin International Airport in Honduras' capital Tegucigalpa.

"Police are firing live rounds," a photographer from the La Tribuna newspaper told Xinhua by telephone. One young Zelaya supporter died after a gunshot wound to the head.

Reporters from Venezuelan cable channel Telesur reported two deaths, but the second one had not been confirmed.

Several witnesses told Xinhua that soldiers launched tear gas grenades into the crowd of supporters who were demonstrating for the return of Manuel Zelaya, who was deposed a week ago in a military coup.
