People Are Being Held At Gunpoint by the Military
And... "but troops guarding the building refused to confirm that and threatened to beat reporters seeking access to the makeshift morgue."
Soldiers are threatening to beat reporters?!!!! I appreciate these guys' efforts to make sure people don't have to endure their loved one's mortal remains displayed in the paper of every Sunday newspaper tomorrow morning but threatening to lay the smackdown on the press is very bad form and possibly a violation of federal civil rights law. (Though threatening to shoot reporters would be a clear cut case.) Couldn't they simply have threatened arrest?
Roommate Update: I so far have not seen my new roommate. I know a bit about him, since I met his father this morning. But I have yet to meet him.
