Outgoing Works and Transport Minister, Gen. Edward Katumba Wamala, his daughter and driver were on Tuesday morning shot along Kisota road, in Kisaasi.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident took place a few minutes to 9am.
The former UPDF and Police Chief survived with bullets in his left arm and chest.
The assailants, four in number were riding on two motorcycles before spraying bullets to Gen Katumba’s car.
The daughter and the driver have been confirmed dead whereas Gen. Katumba has been rushed to Medipal International hospital in Kampala for treatment.
The four star general’s daughter has been identified as Brenda Nantongo and the slain driver is called Haruna Kayondo.
Brenda has been Gen Katumba’s last born and she had just returned from USA a few months ago where she had been studying.
“Brenda had just come back after finishing her studies in America. I don’t know what the government will do because Katumba hasn’t done anything to deserve this. This is heartbreaking,” Joyce Sentongo, Gen Katumba’s relative said a few minutes after the tragedy.
