Moreover, the gunman was detained by guards and employees of SHI-MCI FZE after the shooting before being handed over to the police for investigation. The Vanguard reports said that the police investigation has found out that the gunman, Innocent Oshemi, shot and killed the Korean SHI-MCI employee with his official G5 rifle.
