The elderly woman who resides with her son’s family said;

“They knocked on the door, we begged them but they refused. We had locked the protector. My son went in to get the keys to the doors. As soon as he opened the door, the people followed his wife into the house and shot my son as he tried to close the door. They took his phones, shoes and assaulted his daughter.”
