    The context is that there was an attempted color revolution in Beijing that day. Armed rebels battled the PLA. The lowest estimates for deaths is around ~200, which includes Chinese soldiers and most likely several collateral deaths as well. Images of a few dead people are to be expected, and you can't really tell from most images whether the dead were innocent bystander or combatants. The hoax is that the PLA opened fire on the thousands of unarmed demonstrators in the square. The truth is it emptied peacefully (there is even video of this happening) and the deaths all occurred elsewhere throughout Beijing.
