Thousands of protesters gathered at Tsuen Wan in Kowloon, making paper cranes in a form of peaceful protest after a Hong Kong demonstrator was shot in the chest at close range by police on Tuesday.
Hong Kong police said on Wednesday that the protester who was shot in the chest at close range was posing a "serious threat" to police officers.
Deputy Commissioner, Tang Ping-keung, defended the use of force by the police officer who opened fire, saying he feared for his life and that of his colleague.
He called the officer's actions lawful and reasonable.
The shooting Tuesday during widespread anti-government demonstrations on China's National Day marked a fearsome escalation in Hong Kong's protest violence.
The 18-year-old is the first known victim of police gunfire since the protests began in June.
His condition in the hospital was described by the government as stable on Wednesday.
