Detail of the incident is still sketchy as police told Kasapa News they were en route to the scene.
According
to District Police Crime Cfficer ASP Dartey, police personnel have been
deployed to the area. An eye witness who spoke to a local radio station
said the armed men fired sporadically at their targets but a store
keeper also returned fire killing two of the suspected thieves.
A pregnant woman was hit by a stray bullet during the exchanges and was rushed to the Bole Hospital.
This is the second armed robbery attempt in the community in a week at Tinga.
The first attempt happened a couple of days ago and today’s incident happens to be second plot.
The
community is in a great state of shock, fear and pandemonium and are
profusely calling on the District security apparatus to speed up in
beefing up security to the area.
