This was in one of the additional caravans, not the main caravan which would be quite a ways ahead of this one.  There seem to be at least, 3 caravans, this is the 2nd caravan, check story for exact details.  Picture of those trying to crash the steel metal gates below as well.
 

Honduran migrant traveling with caravan to the U.S. dies in border clash with police

A 26-year-old Honduran man who had been traveling to the U.S. border with a caravan of Central American asylum seekers died on Sunday after the group clashed with Guatemalan and Mexican police on a border bridge between the two countries.

The group of predominantly Honduran migrants had been trying to pass through Guatemalan border town Tecun Uman to Ciudad Hidalgo in Mexico, but they were blocked by authorities, who locked metal gates separating the two countries, the Associated Press reported.

Migrants broke through the barriers, however, leading to a clash with police that reportedly left dozens of people injured.

Migrants threw rocks and used sticks against the police after they toppled the metal barricade. Police responded with the use of tear gas which was effective in dispersing the migrants.

The latter also threw rocks at a Black Hawk helicopter that hovered above the scene.

In a video of the clash, migrants can be heard shouting “they’re shooting, they’re shooting!” after explosions ring out.

Guatemalan firefighters later confirmed that Díaz had been killed by a blow to the head.

Mexican authorities rejected the migrants’ claim that he was shot by Federal Police, who have been deployed to bolster security in the southern border region as Central American migrants fleeing poverty and violence continue to seek entry to Mexico en route to the United States.

Interior Secretary Alfonso Navarrete Prida told a press conference yesterday that police deployed to the border didn’t have firearms or any weapons that could fire rubber bullets.

The migrants, however, did have weapons, including guns and Molotov cocktails, Navarrete charged.

I read they were throwing rocks and hitting the border police with sticks too.  Just the kind of people you want for neighbors.
