A police officer from the Criminal Investigations Department died Thursday night in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. People first thought armed robbers shot her during a chase in Pumula South. The truth came out later - another cop accidentally fired the bullet that killed her. Detective Constable Cassandra Hove was just 37 years old and left behind four children.

The fatal shot hit her left breast, and the bullet stayed inside her body. Medical staff at Flex Clinic in Lobengula tried to help, but she arrived already dead shortly before 9 PM. Family spokesman Ryan Gambinga talked about what really happened after meeting with police officials. He said they learned the terrible news that her death came from friendly fire, not from the criminals they chased.

The family feels shocked and upset about how she died. At first they heard different stories about what happened during the police operation. Later meetings with Bulawayo police cleared things up - confirming that another officer accidentally shot her during the confusion. The Zimbabwe Republic Police has stayed quiet about exactly what went wrong that night.

This accident raises big questions about how police handle dangerous situations. People want answers about safety rules when officers carry guns during raids. The department faces growing pressure to explain their training methods and what went wrong during the operation. Many wonder how better safety steps might have prevented this tragedy that took a mother away from her four children.
