Police in Nairobi killed two suspected thugs on Sunday night in Kayole.
The suspects were killed in two separate incidences, of which one left a police officer nursing a gun wound.
Pistols were recovered from the suspects and one of the weapons was said to have been stolen from a police officer in the area two months ago.
One of the suspects was shot dead outside a bar in the area where he and three others had planned to stage a robbery. Police have launched a search for the other gang members.
The second one was killed in a shootout with police on the road. It was during this incident that a police officer was shot and wounded in the thigh.
The officer is admitted at the Mama Lucy Hospital and is said to be in a stable condition.
