Tororo police have shot dead 26-year-old Godfrey Odoi for allegedly attacking and injuring a police officer.
Odoi, a resident of Poti cell in Iyolwa town council, Tororo district, was involved in a confrontation with Francis Musamali, the officer in charge of Iyolwa police post.
Reports suggest that Odoi hacked Musamali with a machete on the head.
The altercation ensued when Musamali, alongside the area LC 1 chairperson, attempted to counsel Odoi, who had threatened to harm his 10-year-old brother using a machete.
In an attempt to disarm him, the officer shot Odoi in the leg.
Meanwhile, a landslide has killed two children and injured their grandmother.

Their grandmother Gorgeana Juliana is now receiving treatment at Kisoro Hospital. May the deceased souls rest in eternal Peace. END.
