No, it happened in
Bahrain on March 15, 2011 during the Sitra Massacre. More photos of the incidents can be found
HERE.
During the 2011-2012 Bahraini uprising, Sitra was also known to be very rebellious. Many security forces were injured or killed by local residents. Most of the casualties on the security forces side were due to Molotov cocktails thrown on them, but some were also ran over by cars. On March 15, 2012, which was the 1 year anniversary of the martyrdom of Ahmad Farhan, whose head was blown up by security forces in an incident that activists name the "Sitra Massacre", three riot police jeeps were burned in Road #1 (called Martyr Ahmad Farhan road by activists) and the opposition forces controlled the road until the Adhan. One policeman accedientally shot a tear gas canister into his own face while trying to shoot it at residents.
Sitra is labeled by the opposition as the "Capital of the Revolution", due to Sitra being the place where most of the deaths in the uprising occurred and being the hometown of most of the people killed during the uprising

Unarmed Bahraini man Ahmed Farhan shot in the head because he asked for freedom by Finian Cunningham
April 10, 2011 | Manama, Bahrain
Bahraini man Ahmed Farhan was shot in the head by Saudi soldiers as he lay fatally wounded on the ground. He was singled out for the brutal killing simply because he was carrying the Bahraini national flag in his car, witnesses say.
Thirty-year-old Ahmed had the misfortune of going to refuel his car at a petrol station on the outskirts of his hometown, Sitra, when it came under attack from heavily armed troops belonging to the Bahraini Defence Force and Saudi army. The soldiers, backed by armoured cars and tanks, were firing live rounds and raiding homes in the mainly Shia town in northeastern Bahrain – military operations that have become a daily event here in towns and villages across Bahrain.
“There were other customers at the petrol station, but the soldiers noticed that Ahmed had a Bahraini flag in his car,” recalled a close friend.
Because of this, they saw him as a protester against the regime. They shot him first with shotguns while he was sitting in the car. Ahmed got out of the car and tried to run away, but the soldiers fired at him and hit him in the head. Then as he lay on the ground bleeding, a Saudi soldier walked up to him and shot Ahmed in the head with a high-velocity weapon.”
His friend continued: “They were wearing masks but they were Saudi soldiers because we could tell from their uniforms and their accents.”
