Police in Ithanga/Kakuzi Sub-County, Murang’a County, are pursuing three suspects involved in a shooting incident at a quarry in Gatwikira location.
The incident occurred on April 13 at Kwa Diana Quarry.
It is reported that a 27-year-old man accompanied by two other men, confronted another man at the quarry over an alleged debt of Sh100.
The confrontation quickly escalated into a physical altercation.
During the scuffle, one of the attackers reportedly drew a pistol and fired three shots at their target. However, all the shots missed the target as he and others present scampered for their safety before they regrouped.
The gunfire attracted other quarry workers, prompting the attackers to flee into a nearby bush before police arrived.
Police responded to the scene and recovered a 9mm bullet head, which has been documented and taken as an exhibit.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
Police have launched a manhunt for the three suspects as investigations continue.
