A security guard in Uganda has allegedly shot dead a fan of English club Arsenal, who was celebrating the team’s victory over Manchester United.
Another fan was injured as the guard opened fire on a large crowd of jubilant supporters at a restaurant in Lukaya town in central Uganda.
The building’s manager was reportedly angered by the noise that the jubilant supporters were making and asked the guard to intervene.
However, the fans did not heed a warning to keep quiet.
The owner if the restaurant, Farish Magembe switched off the power in the restaurant, angering the fans, who responded by making even more noise.
It was then that the guard allegedly opened fire, firing several shots.
The victim, identified as 30-year-old John Ssenyonga, died at the scene while another Arsenal supporter, Lawrence Mugejera, was taken to hospital for treatment.
Both the guard and the manager of the building are reportedly on the run after the incident, with the police looking for them.
