The UPDF deputy Spokesperson Col Deo Akiiki condemned the shooting and said efforts are underway to have the runaway soldier apprehended and charged with murder.
“We received an incident report regarding Corporal Avugo Lomuro of the Mountain Division Signal Department, who is attached to the Airforce Evacuation Component. Tragically, he shot and killed two colleagues and caused injuries to another, whose name is being withheld in accordance with UPDF reporting policies,” Col Akiiki said.
