Gunmen on Tuesday morning opened fire at Technical
University of Mombasa students, killing two female staffers and injuring
several students.
They are said to have ambushed cars carrying the students
into the institution.
The driver of the car and two security officers were also
injured in the morning incident.
Police officers are already at the scene of crime and are on
the look out for the unidentified gunman who is allegedly part of the
Al-Shabaab militant group.
“A bus carrying students of TUM (the Technical University of
Mombasa) was ferrying them from their hostels to the campus in Ukunda for
classes and was being escorted by a van that had some staff of the college and
two escort police officers,” a policeman told Reuters.
“Armed men numbering about 10 emerged from the bushes and
started firing at the van in front. As a result two ladies who are staff of TUM
were killed in the van. The driver of the van and two police officers were
injured,” he continued.
