Mother Alleges Police Killed Two Sons As Delta Shooting Sparks Outrage

The woman’s emotional account surfaced in a viral video showing a condolence visit by Harrison Gwamnishu and his team.

In the footage, she said the latest incident has reopened painful memories, revealing that she had previously lost another son in 2022 under similar circumstances involving police officers.

“My two children were killed by the police,” she said while expressing grief.
