TEHRAN, June 15 (Reuters) - Iranian state television said shots were fired during a mass rally in support of defeated presidential candidate Mirhossein Mousavi in Tehran on Monday and that people were running away.

"There has been sporadic shooting out there ... I can see people running here," a reporter of Iran's English-language Press TV said. (Reporting by Dominic Evans and Fredrik Dahl; Editing by Jon Hemming)
