Police say many students had gathered at the Hostel for the final leg of the Guild election campaigns when the watchman, suspecting one of the students could have intended to damage a vehicle in the parking lot, opened fire. 
Polisi wanasema kuwa wanafunzi wengi walikusanyika katika hosteli kwa ajili ya hatua za mwisho za kampeni ya uchaguzi wa wanafunzi wakati mlinzi aliyeshuku kuwa mmoja wa wanafunzi hao alikuwa ana nia ya kuiharibu gari iliyokuwa kwenye maegesho alifyatua risasi.
