A very graphic video of an AP officer from Elgeyo Marakwet county shooting himself has been making rounds online.
The police officer is said to have had family issues.
There have been several of these incidents where police and army officers take their own lives, sometimes after killing their lovers.
There was a report that shows that officers have minimal or no counseling facilities available to them.
In the case of the armed forces, soldiers have shot themselves after returning from war fronts, mainly Somalia, in what can be believed as stress and shock from things they see or happen to them and their colleagues in the theater.
