Fresh details have emerged on the shooting of city lawyer Wilbert Muhereza of Owoyesigire & Co Advocates Friday morning.

The shooting, now being treated as an accident, happened at Muhereza’s chambers on Access Building along Rubaga Road in Kampala.

A security guard has been arrested in connection with the shooting.

Identified as Morris Odamat Adape and a worker at Securex compnany, the security guard reportedly shot Muhereza in the arm.

Police says a stray bullet could have hit Muhereza as Odamat did checks on his guns.

Muhereza remains admitted at Mengo Hospital, where he was rushed by a boda boda.

Odamat is being detained at Old Kampala police station.

For the shooting, the guard faces charges of negligence.
