Stray bullet kills woman in Chibolya

Ms Chanda said the bullet hit the woman, who has been identified as Ivy Shimamba, aged between 45 and 50 years.
She said that Ms Shimamba died as she was being rushed to Lusaka’s University Teaching Hospital (UTH).
“The officers were chasing a suspect who was running away. So they fired at the man, he was shot but he didn’t die and managed to escape with a wound.
“Then the bullet went to hit a woman, but she did not die right there. She died on the way to the hospital,” Ms Chanda said.
She said the same bullet hit two Tanzanian nationals, who sustained injuries and are admitted at UTH.
Ms Chanda said the officers were conducting patrols in Chibolya when they came across the suspected thief.
