[Courtesy]One suspect was on Friday evening gunned down, while three others escaped during a foiled robbery at a petrol station in Kitale town. The suspects who reportedly had guns, exchanged fire with the police before one of them was shot dead. Trans Nzoia County Commissioner Sammy Ojwang said the suspects had tried to rob pump attendants when officers on patrol responded at 7.30pm. "The robbers had struck at the petrol station and demanded that the pump attendants surrender the day's collection. Our officers who were on patrol responded and thwarted the robbery," he said.
