Thug Shot Dead as Two others Escape Narrowly
A robbery with violence suspect was shot dead last night in Kawangware, as police intensify a crackdown on criminals and criminal gangs in the city.
The suspect, who was part of a miscreant gang that was robbing pedestrians of their valuables, had just accosted a man who was headed home at around 9 pm.
It is the man’s screams of despair that attracted the cops who were on patrol along Kabiru road. As the officers rushed to the aid of the victim, the thugs opened fire prompting them to dash down for their safety, as they took position to respond.
What followed was a deafening hail of fire as the officers gave the thugs a taste of their own medicine, fatally wounding one of them as his accomplices scampered for dear life with gunshot injuries.
A firearm loaded with 3 rounds of 9mm calibre was recovered from the fallen thug. Meanwhile, a manhunt for the two remaining miscreants is currently ongoing.
