There was a report of shooting at Munali Police Post in Lusaka in which a Police Officer identified as Constable Lennox Kapila aged 26 was shot at by another Police Officer identified as Constable Edwin Kabasiya of Meanwood Kamwena Police Post in Lusaka.
Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo said the incident occurred on January 4, 2019 between 20:45 hours and 21:00 hours at Munali Police Post.
Ms Katongo said Constable Kabasiya is reported to have gone to Munali Police Post where he picked up a quarrel with Constable Kapila and later shot him in the stomach using an AK 47 riffle.
She said the cause of the argument has not yet been established.
“Constable Kapila sustained a gunshot wound in the right side of the stomach and was rushed to Levy Mwanawasa University Teaching Hospital. As at last night, the projectile was still stuck in the stomach.
“The suspect is on the run armed with an AK 47 riffle and a manhunt has been launched,” she said.
