The incident occurred yesterday, Wednesday, due to a stampede of citizens during the random distribution of sums of money by some merchants, as one of the people fired in the air to calm the thousands of residents of the capital who flocked to get help. And local media said that the shooting in the air led to the disconnection of an electricity cable, which caused an explosion, which sparked panic and prompted the residents to disperse, which led to the stampede.
