Drone footage (7DayNews) from Mandalay shows a column of roughly 50 Burmese security force officers shooting into a crowd from the gates of Yadanarbon Shipyard. At 13s a person appears to be fatally shot (under the lamppost - 21.9624, 96.0559). At least 2 people were killed here.
The footage shows that security forces fired from at most 30m away from the person who appears to have been killed, while they were hiding behind some parked motorcycles and posing no threat to the officers. Along with live rounds, flash-bangs and (potentially) tear gas was used. 
Photos from their reporters show Tatamadaw soliders holding locally made sniper rifles, AK-clones and shotguns.
@Silah_Report or @CalibreObscura know more about the guns than I do.

Other (graphic t/w) footage from the scene
shows another person shot in the head >250m away from the first shooting, outside a market. This and the fact that video filming the shooting was pointing South (away from the first site) suggests two firing sites
