NAIROBI, Kenya – A suspected extremist being held at a police station in western Kenya grabbed a gun and shot at police officers, killing four, leading to a hostage situation, an official said Thursday.

Police commandos have been deployed to rescue other prisoners at the station and try to end the standoff, Kenya’s police chief, Joseph Boinnet, said.

“His attempts to escape were thwarted by quick arrival by other officers,” Boinnet said.

An Associated Press reporter at the scene said gunshots could be heard after police commandos went into the building, and two nearby schools have been closed and the children evacuated.

The station commander was among those killed, West Pokot County Commissioner Wilson Wanyanga said.

Kenya has been trying to contain growing extremism influenced by the Al Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group based in neighboring Somalia. The Islamic State group has also emerged as a threat after authorities said tens of Kenyan youth were being recruited by the group….

    Did he stole a gun from an officer, grabbed a gun that was haphazardly left at his reach or was he supplied a gun by a fellow believer who, by chance, carries a badge?

      He grabbed a Kalashnikov from an unsuspecting Kenyan police man and started shooting everyone around him.

    Whether it is these Kenyan soldiers or the hundreds of unsuspecting Western soldiers murdered on the ‘green-on-blue’ jihad attacks in Afghanistan infidels are paying a very price on their suicidal ignorance of islam. You never, ever trust a muslim jihadist. You have to always keep them in hand-cuffs or in a cell.

    May I say that these Black & Brown Muslims have no trouble getting hold of weapons to murder, they always have a plan, & so far their plan has worked very well. Muslims have no respect for authority, so they will challenge the police, just like the Blacks in US. Savages!
