Police officers in Lang'ata are currently investigating a distressing shooting incident that unfolded inside the residence of an officer attached to the presidential escort unit. According to a detailed police report obtained by Kenyans.co.ke, the incident transpired after the officer and his family returned home from Easter celebrations along the Southern Bypass.
The situation took a drastic turn when a heated argument erupted between the officer and his 29-year-old wife. As tensions escalated, the wife retreated to the bedroom and retrieved a Jericho pistol, escalating the conflict by threatening to take her own life in front of their children.
In a courageous attempt to defuse the situation, one of the children, a student at Lang'ata Barracks, pleaded with their mother to reconsider, advocating for a peaceful resolution to their differences. However, the situation quickly intensified as the child bravely attempted to disarm the distressed mother, resulting in a scuffle.
Tragically, amidst the chaos, a single round of ammunition was discharged, striking the mother in the upper chest and causing injuries to the child's right hand. Prompt medical attention was sought, and both victims were rushed to a local hospital in Nairobi.
Law enforcement officials, including the Sub-County Police Commander (SCPC), Sub-County Criminal Investigation Officer (SCCIO), Officer Commanding Station (OCS), and Officer Commanding Police Post (OCPP), swiftly responded to the scene. They meticulously documented the events and recovered critical evidence, including the Jericho pistol loaded with ammunition and spent cartridges.
As investigations proceed, authorities are diligently working to ascertain the underlying cause of the altercation that led to this tragic incident. The well-being of the victims remains a top priority as efforts to uncover the truth continue.
