Fresh details have emerged on the gun drama case involving a civilian who had grabbed a rifle from a police officer in Emali, Makueni County.
Police now say a woman was shot and injured in the drama.
"During the incident, Damaris Sikuku aged 35 years old was shot in the right shoulder. She was rushed to Emali sub-county hospital where she was treated and discharged," police said.
A police officer who was attacked by a panga and seriously injured was transferred to Nairobi for further treatment, police said.
The drama happened when an unknown man aged 35 years old crept to an officer who was guarding Kwitu DT Sacco in Emali and attacked him before snatching his gun.
Police said the man was armed with a panga that he had concealed by tucking it inside his trousers.
He removed the panga and cut the officer on the forehead inflicting him a deep cut, police said.
The attacker then snatched the officer's AK47 firearm with 30 rounds of ammunition and started running away while shooting to scare off the public.
Police with the help of the public pursued the suspect and recovered the firearm with 23 rounds of ammunition and the panga.
Police said the weapon jammed and the suspect did not know how to unlock it.
It was then that he was cornered by the locals and police.
Police said they were overpowered by the mob who stoned the suspect to death.
The body was moved to Kilome maternity and nursing home hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem and identification.
