Reports of shots fired

Reuters reporting shots - apparently live rounds - fired near the La Carlota military base

Gunshots were heard at a rally led by Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó outside a Caracas air base, witnesses said, after Guaidó said earlier that troops had joined him to oust President Nicolás Maduro.

The Reuters witnesses said men in military uniform, who were accompanying Guaidó at the scene, were exchanging fire with soldiers acting in support of Maduro. The witnesses said the shots appeared to be live rounds.
