About four persons have sustained gunshot wounds after the youth clashed with police personnel at Lamashegu in the Northern Region.
Reports indicate that a police officer chased and shot a driver of an unlicensed vehicle in the Chief’s palace.
The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon.
The driver refused to stop when he was stopped by the police who subsequently pursued him into the Lamashegu Chief’s palace.
The action of the police officer angered the youth who decided to besiege the Lamashegu police station and attacked the officers on duty with stones.
The police also called for backup which eventually led to a shooting incident harming about four youths.
To disperse the youth and bring calm to the area, military personnel have been deployed to assist the police.
