Al Jazeera English have a censored version at the end of this report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMz_Qqh6z70

News report on this that I've found:

Dozens of protesters killed in the bloodiest day of the Syrian uprising

Bassem Mroue,Elizabeth A. Kennedy, The Associated Press Apr 22, 2011 18:32:01 PM

Among the dead were a 70-year-old man and two boys ages 7 and 10, Amnesty International said. In the southern town of Izraa, a man ran carrying the body of a young boy, whose hair was matted with blood from a gaping wound on his head, as another child wept and shouted, "My brother!" Footage of the scene was posted on the protest movement's main Facebook page.

Al Jazeera English also reported this today on their Live Blog...

The dead include a seven-year-old girl Israa Younes who was shot by a bullet while in the kitchen of her parent’s home.
