Ugandan soldiers shoot learner while quelling riot - The trouble began when school authorities denied the learners permission to watch a football match between Manchester United and Manchester City
A 17-year old student, Gabriel Rwot Omiya, was killed in what appears to have been a shooting by allegedly drunk Ugandan soldiers at a school in Gulu.
The trouble began when school authorities denied the learners permission to watch a football match between Manchester United and Manchester City. The Gulu army commander, Bonny Bamwiseki, didn’t respond to questions about the sobriety of the soldiers and the regional police commander, Damalie Nachuha, neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, “drunkenness is determined by an expert”.
It’s unclear how the tragedy then unfolded but Gabriel’s family says the postmortem report says a bullet struck his back, went through his chest and throat and exited through the mouth.
