The car in which a civilian was travelling before she was shot dead<\/p>\n

\u201cThe culprit was also gunned down in self defence and to stop his wanton action. We condemn the outrageous act of the lower commander against his subordinates. We extend our sincere condolences to those whose life have taken and grieve with the families. Joint investigations have commenced to ascertain what prompted the Junior Commissioned officer to shot at his colleagues,\u201d Lt. Col Akiiki said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The victims were identified as Special Police Constable Isaac Nimulungi, No.AX301784 Abraham Masereka, No.AX017516 John Wafula, both LDU personnel and a civilian Rita Nabayingo, a resident of Nsumbi village Kyebando Parish Wakiso Sub County, Wakiso District.<\/p>\n

The soldier who security personnel suspect he was under the influence of alcohol also shot and injured Police Constable David Ochen. During the gunfight, the killer and security personnel running after him entered civilian residences and it\u2019s alleged that is how Nabayingo was killed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
