A 27-year-old man identified as Doribert Atwesigye, who is said to be an employee of National Water and Sewerage Cooperation (NWSC) was on Sunday morning shot and killed by a security guard after a heated argument.
According to a police statement, the incident occurred at about 6:00am on Sunday at Kabojja Hostel, a residence for Kyambogo University students.
It is alleged that Atwesigye, who had made plans with his girlfriend, a third year student at Kyambogo university, did not sign in at the entrance and told the security guard, a one Kiiza Alkanglo Alali, who is attached to Millennium Company that he had not moved with his national ID.
However, Alali was not going to have any of this and thus denied him entry. Atwesigye was however hell-bent on seeing his girlfriend hence trying to force his way into the hostel.
A heated argument ensued, insults were exchanged and within no minute Alali went for his gun and shot Atwesigye in the stomach.
The victim was picked and taken to Iran Uganda Medical Center in critical condition and was later announced dead.
The suspect was arrested and his gun no. SR UG PSO 12085000-03817 was recovered with one live bullet.
