MOMBASA, Kenya – Two staff members were killed and several students were injured in Kenya after gunmen opened fire at the Technical University of Mombasa’s campus in coastal Kwale county on Tuesday, a police official and a witness said.
Two female staff members were killed, and a driver and two policemen were injured, a police official who did not want to be named told Reuters.
A witness who did not want to be named told Reuters she and several other students had fled their vehicle when gunmen opened fire on them and had seen blood-covered students being carried from the building as police descended on the campus.
The identity of the gunmen was unclear.
Somali militant Islamist group al-Shabaab frequently carries out attacks along the Kenya-Somali border and along the Kenyan coast and in 2015 attacked a university in Kenya’s Garissa town, killing 148 students.
