A 38-year-old man is lucky to be alive after he survived an attack by armed assailants Saturday night.
James Chomba was walking home at around 11:30pm when was accosted by two gun toting thugs outside Rongera apartments in Kinoo, Kiambu County.
The thugs ordered him to lie down but Chomba defied the orders, opting to run for dear life.
Outfoxed, one of the thugs opened fire and shot him, the bullet head entering the chest through the left side and exiting on the right.
But an unbowed Chomba sprinted to his house, missing other shots by a whisker.
As the thugs staged their cowardly escape, the area chief who got wind of the attack immediately called DCI officers based at Kikuyu Police Station.
The victim who was bleeding from the gunshot wounds, was rushed to the M.P Shah hospital for treatment.
Luckily, after doctors at the facility conducted various tests, it was established that Chomba was out of danger since the bullet head had not touched any vital internal organs.
He is currently admitted at the hospital in fair condition.
Meanwhile, detectives are in hot pursuit of the two suspects after obtaining crucial leads on their whereabouts.
