KALUNGU – A devastating incident occurred in Lukaya town council, Kalungu District, where a private security guard and avid Manchester United fan is on the run after allegedly shooting an Arsenal supporter to death. The tragic event unfolded following Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Manchester United on December 4th, 2024.
The match, which was played at the Emirates Stadium, saw Arsenal dominate the proceedings, with goals from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba securing the win for the Gunners. Manchester United’s efforts were thwarted by Arsenal’s solid defense, leaving the Red Devils empty-handed.
As the match progressed, the tension between the two sets of fans grew. The security guard, who was watching the match at a local bar, became increasingly agitated as Manchester United’s chances of winning slipped away, according to the eyewitnesses.
Eyewitnesses claim that after the final whistle, Arsenal fans began celebrating their team’s win, which infuriated the security guard. In a fit of rage, he allegedly pulled out a gun and fired a fatal shot, killing one of the Arsenal fans.
The police have launched a manhunt for the security guard, who is currently at large. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the guard’s whereabouts to come forward.
The incident has sent shockwaves throughout the community, with many condemning the senseless violence. Football rivalry is a common phenomenon, but it should never escalate into violence, let alone loss of life.
