An Arsenal fan in Uganda was k!lled while celebrating the Gunners’ 2-0 win over Manchester United in a Premier League game on Wednesday, December 4.

John Ssenyonga ’s d£ath was announced on Thursday, December 5, in a report by BBC News. The report stated that the late Arsenal fan was shot de@d by a security guard in Uganda.

Another fan was reportedly injured as the guard opened fire on a large crowd of jubilant supporters at a restaurant in Lukaya town in central Uganda, about 100km (62 miles) from the capital Kampala.

It happened towards the end of the match, which Arsenal won 2-0 with a local journalist informing the BBC that the building’s manager was angered by the noise that the jubilant fans were making and asked the guard to intervene.

“However, the fans did not heed a warning to quiet down,” the BBC quoted the local journalist as saying.

“Witnesses told the journalist, Farish Magembe, that the owner switched off the power in the restaurant, angering the fans, who responded by making even more noise.

“It was then that the guard allegedly opened fire, firing several shots. The victim, identified as 30-year-old John Ssenyonga, d!ed at the scene.

Another long-term Arsenal fan, Lawrence Mugejera, was taken to hospital for treatment.”

According to the report, both the guard and the manager of the building fled for safety after the incident, with the police looking for them.

The regional police spokesman, Twaha Kasirye, was quoted by the Daily Monitor newspaper as saying that they had recovered a gun at the scene.

“We condemn the incident and we ask anyone with information that can help the police to bring the suspect to book to speak up,” Kasirye said, also urging fans to control their excitement.
