Allegedly, the sniper had gunned down a police officer.

The Recce Squad was reported to be in and out of the building, conducting their swift operation in twenty minutes.
Media sources at the scene also suggested that the sniper could have been a police officer. However, the police have yet to issue an update or confirmation of the bizarre incident.
The incident is one of the notable occurrences during the protests on Tuesday.
In an interesting twist, Tuesday’s protests were marred by looting across several areas of the country.
In Nairobi, several business owners were seen along the streets protecting their businesses from vandalism.
Meanwhile, in Mombasa, vandals torched vehicles parked along the streets as they engaged the police in running battles.
