STORYLINE:
Fresh violence erupted at protest marches on the second day of a world summit in Genoa on Saturday, with riot police firing tear gas at demonstrators.
The protests, and the G-8 summit of leaders of the world's richest nations plus Russia, went ahead despite the death of one protestor in violent street clashes a day earlier.
Dozens of protestors fled as the tear gas was fired.
White clouds of tear gas rose into the air, mixing with black smoke from fires set by demonstrators.
The new violence erupted as the head of a march of between 30-thousand and 60-thousand people approached the site where the demonstrator was slain in Friday's street clashes, which left more than 200 people injured.
Many in the crowd shouted "Assassins, assassins!"
Meanwhile, authorities said manslaughter charges were being weighed against the policeman who shot the protestor.
The 20-year-old policeman, a conscript in Italy's paramilitary Carabinieri force, was hospitalised for shock, police said, and prosecutors were investigating the incident.
The umbrella group that organised the massive street protests, the Genoa Social Forum, called on world leaders to suspend the summit, and demanded the resignation of Italy's interior minister, responsible for overseeing the security forces.
Leaders at the summit rejected the call to suspend their talks.
While expressing sorrow over the death, they said in a joint statement that "our work goes on."
But the death of the demonstrator did lead some of the protest groups to change their plans.
Campaigning for the group, musicians and activists Bob Geldoff and Bono reiterated their call for the G-8 leaders to write off the debts owed to them by third world nations.
