Two people are in critical condition after a bizarre shooting in the Ashanti region on Tuesday.
A driver of a KIA vehicle who was allegedly driving carelessly in Ayeduase was confronted by a painter who did not find him pleasant.
The discussion occurred near the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) campus during which the driver landed a heavy slap on the face of the painter, known as Amoah.
As the altercation heated up, Amoah retaliated with a slap that forced the driver to walk back to his vehicle, according to eyewitnesses.
The visibly angry driver returned from the car with a pistol and fired three shots into Amoah’s stomach.
Upon the arrival of the police, a mob had gathered around the suspect’s car calling out for his action while the victim was taken to KNUST hospital.
Amid the chaos, the police officers cordoned off to prevent the driver from being lynched and also make his arrest.
Another witness, narrated that; “they [the police] He walked around him, showed him a gun and told him to get out of the car. “
“I think he was scared, so he drew his gun and shot himself,” said one resident, Dacosta Nii Addo. JoyNews.
The injured driver was also rushed to hospital when investigations into the matter begin.
Ashanti regional correspondent Nana Yaw Gyimah reports that the two are under police surveillance at KNUST hospital and that statements will be taken from them when they are in a position to provide them.
