At least three people were on Wednesday shot dead at the burial grounds of Buganda kings in Kasubi, a Kampala suburb, as the military used force to usher President Museveni to tour the destroyed royal mausoleum.
Four other civilians injured in the shooting were admitted at Mulago Hospital, Lt. Col. Felix Kulayigye, the army and defence spokesman, said.
“Our soldiers deployed at Kasubi came under a hail of stones thrown by some rascals,” said Lt. Col. Kulayigye, “They fired in the air in self-defence but, unfortunately, two people were hit and they died while five were injured.”
Daily Monitor, however confirmed that a third person had died in hospital as a result of bullet wounds. Five security officers and firefighters were also injured.
Government has declined to disclose the identities of the victims, saying the next of kin will have to be notified first.
