Ugandan police have launched a manhunt for four
Flying Squad officers accused of shooting dead a
three-year-old girl.
They allegedly wounded the girl's mother and a
man at a village in the central Mityana district on
Monday.
The four officers were not on "official assignment"
and the motive behind the shooting is unclear.
Police described the incident as "highly regrettable"
and said they would pay for the treatment of the
wounded
"The Uganda Police Force has received reports that
persons suspected to be officers of the Flying
Squad allegedly shot dead three-year-old Viola
Nakuwuka and injured her mother," a police
statement said.
It described the incident as murder that "will be
treated with serious action".
The men are reported to be on the run and the
police have issued an all-points alert for the
officers.
