Three people sustained gunshot wounds on Wednesday in Nairobi's Huruma area following a day-long tension pitting the police and the residents.
The three sustained the injuries following a chaotic situation that arose when the youth planned to block the Outer Ring Road to protest the fatal shooting of Cheryl Adhiambo, a 21-year-old KMTC student, on Saturday evening.
Amid the melee, a female officer is said to have fired her weapon, injuring the trio on the thighs and lower limbs.
Moments later, the police managed to de-escalate the situation and the three victims were rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital for medical attention.
