An elderly man in a grey shirt confronted the protesters with a handgun before pulling the trigger, according to local reports.
One arrest has been made so far.
The protests were over a controversial government mining contract in the country and are in there third week.
One man in a black t-shirt is seen in the chilling video getting into a heated argument with the man before the camera cuts and he is on the floor lifeless.
A second man then gets shot after confronting him and is shown hobbling away to the side of the road as other protesters run for cover.
He is then shown a few seconds slumping to the floor.
Pictures of the first victim being treated on the road by others at the scene would later show he was shot in the neck.
