Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Four people travelling in a light vehicle died in the early hours of Tuesday during a chase and exchange of gunfire with the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) in the city of Maputo.<\/p>\n

PRM spokesperson in the country\u2019s capital, Leonel Muchina, told the press that, at around 2:00 a.m., the group disobeyed an order to stop given by a police brigade.<\/p>\n

This, said Muchina, excited the suspicion of the agents, who immediately launched a pursuit of the gang, while firing in the air as a way of indicating that they should stop. \u201cStrangely, the group responded with gunfire,\u201d Muchina said.<\/p>\n

Given the response, the police directed their fire towards the still-moving vehicle on Avenida Julius Nyerere, close to Prac\u0327a dos Combatentes, fatally injuring all four occupants.<\/p>\n

A search of the vehicle revealed an AKM and an industrial bolt cutter.<\/p>\n

Muchina said the bodies were taken to the morgue at Maputo Central Hospital, and that identification was underway prior to informing relatives.<\/p>\n
