A POLICE officer attached to Kenya's provincial police shot 10 people dead at several bars in a small town northeast of Nairobi before surrendering, a police spokesman said today.
"He shot 10 people in bars in Siakago. He went from one bar to another and was shooting indiscriminately. Apparently he was looking for his girlfriend after he left duty," Charles Owino, a deputy spokesman in the regular police division said.
"Among the 10 dead were two of his colleagues who were investigating the shootings. Apparently no one was injured during the shooting, all those he shot at died," Owino said.
Owino said the officer -- who went on the rampage after he finished his shift as a guard at the District Commissioners' (DC) residence -- tried to shoot himself but had run out of ammunition. He later surrendered to police.
The officer serves in a branch of Kenya's police system that is attached to its provincial administration which has its own chain of command separate from the regular police system.
Siakago is a small town near Embu, 120 km (74 miles) northeast of Nairobi towards Mount Kenya. Embu serves as the headquarters of Kenya's Eastern Province.
