A fan of the English Premier League club, Arsenal, John Ssenyonga, was fatally shot on Wednesday night while celebrating his team’s 2-0 victory over Manchester United.

The incident occurred when a security guard opened fire on a large crowd of supporters jubilating at a restaurant in Lukaya town in central Uganda, about 62 miles from the capital Kampala.

According to the BBC, the noise from the crowd infuriated the manager of the building who asked the guard to intervene while he switched off power at the restaurant.

The move reportedly annoyed the fans who decided to make more noise at the restaurant, causing the security guard to open fire.

The report said 30-year-old Ssenyonga was hit while another Arsenal fan, Lawrence Mugejera, was injured.

Both the guard and the manager of the building are reportedly on the run, while Mugejera was taken to the hospital for medical care.

Reacting to the incident, the regional police spokesman, Twaha Kasirye, said “A case has been opened against the security guard, and we are actively pursuing him.

“The security guard is on the run,” he added.

Kasirye appealed to football fans to maintain decorum during celebrations.

“We encourage our people to celebrate peacefully. Violence in the name of football support is unacceptable,” he said.
