A devastating incident has shaken Kampala after four young children were brutally killed in a stabbing attack at a nursery school, authorities confirmed.
Police in Uganda reported that the tragic event occurred at a school in the Makindye area, where a 34-year-old man allegedly carried out the assault. According to officials, the victims included one girl and three boys.
Spokesperson Rachael Kawala stated that the suspect managed to gain entry into the school premises before attacking several children with a sharp object. Reports indicate the attacker posed as a parent to gain access, initially entering the administrative office before stepping outside, locking the gate, and launching the deadly assault.
Eyewitness accounts suggest the suspect moved from child to child during the attack, creating panic and chaos within the school environment. The situation was eventually brought under control when a security guard from a nearby church intervened and subdued the attacker.
Police confirmed the suspect has been taken into custody, while investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind the killings.
Scenes of grief unfolded as distraught parents gathered at the school, some breaking down in tears. Tensions escalated as an angry crowd attempted to confront the suspect, prompting security forces to fire warning shots into the air to disperse them.
Authorities noted that such violent incidents are highly uncommon in Kampala, a city with a population of about three million people, making the tragedy even more shocking.
