STORYLINE:
Residents in Port-au-Prince made barricades to defend themselves after gang members raided a key community in Haiti’s capital.
The pop of automatic weapons echoed throughout Solino on Thursday as thick columns of black smoke rose above the once peaceful neighborhood where frantic residents kept calling radio stations asking for help.
It wasn’t immediately clear who organized and was participating in the attack on Solino.
The community, which is home to thousands of people, was once infested by gangs before a U.N. peacekeeping mission drove them out in the mid-2000s.
The attack could mark a turning point for gangs, which are now estimated to control up to 80% of Port-au-Prince and have been suspected of killing nearly 4,000 people and kidnapping another 3,000 last year, overwhelming police in the country of nearly 12 million people.
If Solino falls, gangs would have easy access to neighborhoods such as Canape Vert that have so far remained peaceful and largely safe.
On Thursday evening, Haiti's National Police released a statement saying officers were deployed to Solino “with the aim of tracking down and arresting armed individuals seeking to sow panic among the civilian population.”
Police also released a nearly three-minute video showing in part officers on a rooftop in Solino exchanging fire with unidentified gunmen who did not appear on screen.
Nearby communities spooked by the ongoing violence in Solino began erecting barricades on Thursday using rocks, trucks, tires and even banana trees to prevent gangs from entering.
Rene August told The Associated Press in Port-au-Prince, "nothing is functional, not even the democratic institutions."
Amid concerns that the violence in Solino could spill over into other neighborhoods, parents rushed to schools across Port-au-Prince to pick up their children.
Haiti is awaiting the deployment of a foreign armed force led by Kenya to help quell gang violence that was approved by the U.N. Security Council in October.
A judge in Kenya is expected to issue a ruling on Jan 26 regarding an order currently blocking the deployment.

Psalms 60:1-12 WEBUS
[1] God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again. [2] You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes. [3] You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger. [4] You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. [5] So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us. [6] God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth. [7] Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter. [8] Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.” [9] Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom? [10] Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God. [11] Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain. [12] Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

If you had enough sense, you would see God's hands on you. And you would quickly stop your wrong doing, and ask God for forgiveness. God loves you.
