{{A Ugandan soldier shot 10 people dead, including five soldiers and left 25 others injured in a shooting spree following a bar brawl over a woman in Ntoroko District on Friday night.<\/p>\n
The killer soldier, Private Chris Amanyire, attached to Rhino Battalion at Kanyansi Barracks, also shot himself dead.}}<\/p>\n
The District Police Commander, Mr Bosco Bakashaba, said the soldier went on a shooting spree after fighting with boda-boda riders over a woman at a drinking joint in Karugutu Town Council in Ntoroko.<\/p>\n
Eyewitnesses said the tragedy began when Private Amanyire and boda-boda riders developed a quarrel over a woman in the bar.<\/p>\n
The boda-boda riders attacked Private Amanyire and grabbed his mobile phone and smashed it. A fight broke out between the soldier and the cyclists.<\/p>\n
The witnesses say the soldier, who sustained bruises in the fight, retreated to the barracks and returned with a gun and dressed in a pair of jeans and an army jacket. <\/p>\n
Upon reaching the pub, Amanyire started shooting randomly at the revellers who were drinking inside, killing eight on the spot.<\/p>\n
The UPDF 2nd Division spokesman, Major Ronald Kakurungu, said the army was investigating the matter to establish the main cause of the tragedy. <\/p>\n
