hours into saturday. they say syrian government committed a massacre, at least 260 people were killed and over 130 killed in the homs neighborhood. one activist told us of bodies in the streets. those trying to help people were shot at, including ambulances. he said they were in dire need of assistance and medical supplies. these aren t animals lying here. these are human beings. being bombed by mortar bombs and tank shells. no one is doing anything about this. we are going to sit here and get killed. that s one message i want to get out. we are not going to stop. syrian people will not stop 2 if they kill millions. we will remember no one did anything about this. reporter: opposition groups reported even more deaths, saying tens had been killed in different parts of syria. activists reported a funeral procession that took place. this amateur video reportedly shows thousands gathered for that funeral procession. visible are cowans on the ground. the syrian government deni
