notes: On November 14th, a mob chased and threw stones at a member of the Wildlife Authority at Bufuma (Bududa), after he was alleged to have been having an affair with the wife of one of Bufuma's residents. The officer shot at the crowd that was converging on him, killing one and wounding another, before fleeing. The mob then lynched another member of the Wildlife Authority in retaliation. Five people have been arrested in connection with the case, though the officer responsible for shooting into the crowd is reported to be on the run from authorities.
