Police in the Korogocho slums of Nairobi fatally shot a gunman who had stabbed and injured two men in a robbery incident.
The gunman was among the gang of two who had been attacking and robbing pedestrians in the Kisumu Ndogo area.
The police made a chase on the gang after they had stabbed and wounded two men in one of the robbery incidents.
According to police, the gang also stole mobile phones and cash from the victims who had resisted their orders hence prompting the stabbing in the stomach.
