In a most unfortunate incident that occurred in Kisumu at the Kisumu Bus Park today morning, an unknown assailant attacked a traffic Police officer as he was busy controlling traffic, disarmed him and went on a shooting frenzy killing two people on the spot.
Five other people including the traffic officer, were seriously injured in the 8am incident, that left travelers at the Kisumu bus stage scampering for dear life. The assailant, who was allegedly dressed in a balaclava only revealing his eyes had attacked the officer from behind
pushing him on the tarmac. A struggle then ensued and the assailant managed to unholster the firearm from the officer’s waist, chambered a cartridge and shot him at the pelvic, the bullet exiting through the stomach. With the firearm a semi automatic Ceska Pistol in his hands
he started shooting indiscriminately at people who were fleeing to different directions. However, one officer attached to Bus Park followed him stealthily from behind, grabbed him from the back and with the help of some other members of the public, subdued him and
pinned him on the ground. Unfortunately, after the few minutes of terror, two men lay dead and five others including a woman were writhing in pain on the ground with serious injuries. The injured were rushed to Kisumu County Referral Hospital, one of them in critical condition,
with the Officer fighting for dear life at the Agha Khan Hospital in Kisumu. Meanwhile, efforts to arrest the assailant after he was subdued turned futile, since irate members of the public descended on him with all manner of crude weapons & projectiles killing him on the spot.
The scene was processed by Scenes of Crime personnel from Kisumu and the firearm recovered. #FichuaKwaDCI USIOGOPE! 0800722203
