Rachel Shebesh has had a weird last few months. First of all, she had been hospitalized with a leg injury. Police are now investigating an incident in which her husband, a licensed gun holder claims he shot himself in the leg during a “safety precaution routine” in his house along Dennis Pritt Road, Kilimani area in Nairobi.
The husband to former Nairobi Women’s Representative Rachael Shebesh is said to have shot himself in their house on Tuesday night. Mr. Frank Ambundo Shebesh is a licensed gun holder. He allegedly shot himself in the left leg in the thigh and above his left knee. The victim is in the hospital with a bullet lodged in the thigh.
Police are still trying to establish whether the shooting happened elsewhere, instead of the claim that it happened at their home. Another possibility is that the gun was in the lap when he tried to remove it. An officer aware of the goings-on said:
“We are looking at all angles and if it is possible for one to shoot himself in such a place while conducting safety precautions of a pistol. Unless a miracle happened or he pulled the trigger while the weapon was in the waist.”
Mr. Shebesh had a Glock pistol at the time of the said incident. The gun loaded with 12 bullets has been taken away. Another official said a Glock pistol has one of the best safety precautions. The victim is admitted to a city hospital and doctors were preparing for an operation to remove the bullet lodged in the leg.
Let me not speculate about this story because I believe there is more to it than meets the eye.
