A police officer, Inspector Okolie Amechi, was fatally shot by his 10-year-old son in an accidental discharge incident while on duty at a bank in Awka, Anambra State. The incident occurred on Sunday, June 15, around 9:40 p.m.
The officer's son, Dominion Vincent, was playing with his father's service AK-47 rifle, which had been negligently cocked and left without the safety on. Dominion pulled the trigger from behind his father, fatally hitting him in the spine. The bullet also struck his youngest brother, Emmanuel, aged 6, who sustained gunshot injuries to his back and right hand.
Both victims were rushed to Amaku Specialist Teaching Hospital, Awka, where Emmanuel is currently responding to treatment. Sadly, the officer was pronounced dead on arrival. The weapon was retrieved from the minor and secured, while the case has been officially sent to the Central Police Station (CPS) in Awka for investigation.
