CBS news had a reporter in the square at the time. You should read what he said

But there's no question many people were killed by the army that night around Tiananmen Square.

The link 404s lol. No archives either from what I can find.

I've read it (or something like it) in the past. There were violent confrontations around the city after the protest was dispersed. A couple hundred people (a significant number of them soldiers), died in the fighting. This matches with what the CPC said, so I don't think it's in dispute.

Vast majority of the links in similar articles are circular or to "original reporting" from people who weren't there or reporting based on US government sources. But like the other commenter said, it's absolutely true and agreed by the PRC that hundreds died in fighting around the city. No lies there are all, but the lead up to it makes clear that the forces which resulted in fighting at all were liberal and imperialist-aligned forces. https://redsails.org/another-view-of-tiananmen/
