In another grievous incident, a 7-year-old girl was killed by security forces while she ran towards her father, during a raid on their home in Myanmar's second city Mandalay on Tuesday.
Witnesses said the girl had been shot inside her home when security forces opened fire in a suburb of the city.
Residents said at least one person had been killed in shooting elsewhere in Mandalay.
Myanmar's military has been increasing its use of force as protests continue.
Rights group Save the Children says more than 20 children are among dozens of people who have been killed.
In total, the military says 164 people have been killed in protests, while the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) activist group puts the death toll at at least 261.
The military on Tuesday expressed sadness at the death of protesters, while blaming them for bringing anarchy and violence to the country.
