A complaint of attempted murder was reported to the police after a man was apparently shot in the leg when police and conservation officers from the Ministry of the Environment were chasing three suspects. The suspects apparently tried to get away on foot in various directions and in the process warning shots were apparently fired. One of the shots apparently hit one of the suspects. He was taken to the hospital and police seized the elephant tusks that the suspects apparently poached.
