A gang in Juja town got the shock of their lives on Thursday night when their attempt to rob a lone man turned tragic and funny.
The armed gang waylaid the man who was walking home from a local butchery. Unknown to them, the man is a licensed firearm holder who had carried along his gun.
The thugs intercepted him and tried to rob him at gun point, according to the police. But the courageous man quickly whipped out his gun and fired first, killing one gang member on the spot and injuring two others.
Shocked, the other gang members fled to safety, leaving behind their injured colleagues.
