Angry youth burned down Shauri Moyo Police Station in Nairobi because they wanted answers about a dead 17-year-old. The high school student was shot Tuesday night. The fire started early Wednesday as part of large protests. The young people also burned two police cars and made fire barricades on the streets.

Police tried to stop the crowds by shooting tear gas everywhere. Nairobi's top cop, George Sedah, talked about what happened. He said lots of stuff was damaged during these protests. Fire trucks came, but people kept throwing rocks at them.

Sedah explained how everything began with a police stop the night before. Officers who didn't wear uniforms checked some young men because they thought they had drugs. The officers looked for one specific guy they knew about. This suspect yelled loudly when police tried to grab him.

People walking from a nearby mosque heard him scream for help. These people ran toward the police and attacked them hard. An officer felt scared and shot his gun to protect himself. The bullet hit someone in the head, who later died at the hospital. During this fight, one police officer got badly hurt on his hip, hand, and back.
