A gun battle on Wednesday morning between a resident and suspected armed men believed to be robbers has left a pregnant woman injured in Tinga a small mining community near Bole in Bole District of the Northern region.
Details of the incident is still sketchy as police told Ultimate News’ Eliasu Tanko they were en route to the scene of the incident but it is gathered that residents engaged the suspected robbers in a shootout.
District police crime officer ASP Dartey said police personnel have been deployed to the area.
An eye witness who spoke to a local radio station said the armed men fired sporadically at their targets but a store keeper also returned fire killing two of the suspected robbers.
This is the second time armed robbery attempt is recorded in the community in a week at Tinga.
The first happened a couple of days ago.
The community is in a state of fear with residents calling on the District security apparatus to beef up its security arrangements in the area.
