The violent exchange broke out last evening after residents accused the officers of manhandling a domestic violence suspect as well as extra-judicial killings. However, police said that the officer was forced to open fire when people tried to snatch a firearm from him after freeing the suspect who was being taken to a patrol base station in Endebess.

Trans Nzoia County Assembly Speaker, Mr. Werunga, was reportedly shot by the officers as he rushed to the scene in a bid to quell the situation.

The injured were taken to Mt. Elgon Hospital in Kitale town but Mr. Werunga has since been transferred to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital where he is currently recovering from his gunshot wounds.

These extra-judicial killings come a few days after Kisumu County Commissioner Pauline Dola issued a shoot to kill order on armed gangs mostly riding on motorcycles. The officer is currently being held at Kitale Police Station as investigations on whether he used excessive force begin.
