This is very unfortunate.

The four were shot during a gun fire exchange between the rioters and revenue enforcement officers. The rioters were protesting against the planned arrest of suspected smugglers in the town. They overran and burnt URA's domestic taxes office, vehicle, and eight confiscated motorcycles, which were parked at the Police station as enforcement officers took refuge from the rioters. Rioters also vandalised URA office, looting 100 motorcycles according to the Police. An eye witness said the URA enforcement team was screening motorbikes to impound those without proper documents. At about mid-day, some people resisted arrest prompting chaos that sparked off a riot. In retaliation, people started throwing stones at enforcement officers who retaliated with gunfire. URA officials claim the rioters started the shooting. Four people were shot, Joseph Denaya, died on spot. The other three, Cosmus Bata, Ddumba Mambo and Hassan Kyewakasa were rushed to Koboko Health Centre in critical condition. However, one of them, who was not identified by press time, died in transit to Arua Hospital. Koboko district Police chief, Fred Segirinya, said only two people were shot. He said the enforcement officers started shooting when they were about to be overpowered. "They had to run and seek refuge at the Police station. But the rioters still followed them and burnt their vehicle and motorcycles which were parked at the Police station." Police had to call in the army from the neighbouring barracks. The army stormed the town with three armoured vehicles, dispersing rioters and regaining control. Close to 50 soldiers could also be seen patrolling the town for the whole evening, said the eye witness. URA's acting publicist, Paul Kyeyune, said in a press release that URA lost a vehicle and the office building was set ablaze in the riot. "The approach taken by the mob is regrettable because it greatly affects URA's activities in the execution of their mandate," Kyeyune said. He explained that URA resorts to force in their duty of tax collection when all other measures have failed. He assured the public that the situation would normalise. By press time, Segirinya said the situation was normalising. __._,_.___ Messages in this topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/message/834;_ylc=X3oDMTMzbTBpY2 VzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRtc2dJZA M4MzgEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDdnRwYwRzdGltZQMxMjM2NDEzOTQ2BHRwY0lkAzgzNA--> (4) Reply (via web post) <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJwaWpvOG9mBF9TA zk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRtc2dJZAM4MzgEc 2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDcnBseQRzdGltZQMxMjM2NDEzOTQ2?act=reply&messageNum=838> | Start a new topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmamhyZ3E0BF9TA zk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsa wNudHBjBHN0aW1lAzEyMzY0MTM5NDY-> Messages <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJmaGx0aDV1B F9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRzZWMDZnRyB HNsawNtc2dzBHN0aW1lAzEyMzY0MTM5NDY-> | Files <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJndW81azZjBF9T Azk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRzZWMDZnRyBHNs awNmaWxlcwRzdGltZQMxMjM2NDEzOTQ2> | Photos <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/photos;_ylc=X3oDMTJmY3VxZGRkBF9 TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRzZWMDZnRyBHN sawNwaG90BHN0aW1lAzEyMzY0MTM5NDY-> | Links <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/links;_ylc=X3oDMTJnMjgxMGhqBF9T Azk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRzZWMDZnRyBHNs awNsaW5rcwRzdGltZQMxMjM2NDEzOTQ2> | Database <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/database;_ylc=X3oDMTJkZHFndW9kB F9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRzZWMDZnRyB HNsawNkYgRzdGltZQMxMjM2NDEzOTQ2> | Polls <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/polls;_ylc=X3oDMTJnbmlkNzl2BF9T Azk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRzZWMDZnRyBHNs awNwb2xscwRzdGltZQMxMjM2NDEzOTQ2> | Members <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJma2lpN3AxBF 9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRzZWMDZnRyBH NsawNtYnJzBHN0aW1lAzEyMzY0MTM5NDY-> | Calendar <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kobokonet/calendar;_ylc=X3oDMTJlY21yZmlhB F9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NDE3MzExBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTE3MTg4NwRzZWMDZnRyB HNsawNjYWwEc3RpbWUDMTIzNjQxMzk0Ng--> MARKETPLACE ________________________________ >From kitchen basics to easy recipes - join the Group from Kraft Foods <http://us.ard.yahoo.com/SIG=14ki2ufja/M=493064.12016295.13271503.108355 68/D=groups/S=1705171887:MKP1/Y=YAHOO/EXP=1236421146/L=/B=AzZSBUPDhFk-/J =1236413946194531/K=m6kC0AbK_vm0gUiEI8v5yg/A=5530388/R=0/SIG=11nuutlas/* http:/explore.yahoo.com/groups/kraftmealsmadesimple/> Yahoo!
