Police love rivals in shoot-out
Three Kenyan policemen have been arrested after their rivalry for the love of a barmaid led to a shoot-out. Two administration police officers were thrown out of the Unique Bar in Nairobi after a fist-fight with a policeman. "Hey, Sam, git your paws off our girl!" "Sheâs tired of you two, sheâs my girl now!" They collected their guns from their camp and returned to the bar determined to kill their love rival, reports the East Africa Standard. "Strap on your shooting iron, Joe. We gonna track that sonabitch Sam down and plug him." "Damm, straight, Bill. Weâll teach him to steal our woman." He had returned to his police station, where they tracked him down and shot at him, before fleeing under fire. "We got you cornered now, eat lead!" "Hey, somebodies shooting at Sam, git em!" "Oh, shit! Run, Bill, heâs got help!" All three men are to be charged with misuse of firearms, the police told BBC News Online. The officer in charge of Kiambu police division, Athanasius Munyagia, said they are likely to be sacked if found guilty. He said the officers had endangered the lives of many people, including the bar patrons, passers-by and the policemen. Fortunately, it seems that no-one was injured in the shoot-out. Cheez, more cops who canât shoot straight. Posted by: Steve 2004-01-06 |
