An assailant disguised in a hoodie and mask snatched a gun from a traffic police officer in Kisumu and fired bullets randomly killing one person and injuring several others.
The traffic police officer, who was controlling traffic flow along Jomo Kenyatta Highway, was approached by the suspect who unexpectedly grabbed his gun.
The suspect's wild indiscriminate shooting unfortunately hit a city tout and a woman who was passing by the streets.
Witnesses stated that the woman was shot in the thigh while the tout was shot in hand while attempting to stop the suspect from escaping.
The police officer was also sustained injuries while pursuing the suspect.
Upon arrest, the charged city dwellers lynched the man.
Police officers began investigations into the matter after the body of the suspect was taken to the morgue.
The three victims who were injured were rushed to a city hospital for treatment.
