BEIRUT, May 10 (Reuters) - At least two people were killed on Saturday when shots were fired at a funeral procession for a pro-government supporter in Beirut who had died in clashes with Lebanon's Hezbollah fighters, security sources said. Several other people were wounded. The circumstances of the shooting were not clear but it happened at a cemetery near an area controlled by Shi'ite Muslim gunmen. Hezbollah fighters and allied Shi'ite gunmen took control of the Muslim sector of the Lebanese capital on Friday after routing pro-government Sunni gunmen. The latest deaths brought the death toll to 24 in four days of fighting in Beirut and other areas. (Writing by Nadim Ladki; editing by Sami Aboudi)
