A local resident described seeing four men on two motorcycles attack the car the police officers were travelling in at around 9.30 am as they left for work.
"Two motorbike riders and two men with guns fired at the car. They shot very rapidly with guns that looked like AK47s," said Mohammad, a motorcycle rider who lives and works in the area.
"The motorbikes came from behind as the car was leaving Kaweesi's house. The car driver tried to increase speed but they drove past the car and shot into it," said the 30-year-old man who declined to give his surname.
