Police in the Bimbilla district of the Northern Region have commenced investigations into the sporadic shooting that occurred in the Bimbilla Township on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The incident led to the death of a 40-year-old woman, and injured her 14-year-old daughter who is currently receiving treatment at the Bimbilla hospital.<\/p>\n

The issue is still under investigation,\u201d ASP Ebenezer Kusi, the Bimbilla Crime Officer told Citi News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Explaining the incident, he said, \u201cOn Tuesday around 8:00pm, we heard a gunshot in town, so a Police\/Military team proceeded to the place, and went to a certain house and found a woman, Rahinatu Alhassan, 40, dead, and her daughter Khadija Bediako, 14, wounded on her left shoulder. We took the body to the Bimbilla Hospital mortuary. The girl is responding to treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bimbilla township has over the last few years been considered a crime hotspot leading to series of violent clashes involving the use of ammunition.<\/p>\n

Last week, the celebration of the annual Damba festival in Bimbilla was suspended to prevent potential conflict.<\/p>\n
