The Lebanese city had seen protests start the day.
Sunnis, Shiites, and Christians took to the streets in either protest or support of Hezbollah's increased involvement in the Syrian civil war.
A group of Shiites began a protest in front of the Iranian embassy and were met by Hezbollah members, who opened fire on the protesters.
One protester was killed and several more were injured.
Lebanon responded by sending the military out to enforce peace on the streets.
Intersections were blocked with military vehicles and barbed wire check points.
The country fears that Hezbollah's involvement in Syria's war, will involve Lebanon in it as well.
It may well be too late for Lebanon to avoid that fate.
