A 72-year-old man has died after shooting himself outside the emergency department of a hospital in Nairobi.
The patient, who was identified as Abdalla Mohamed, is believed to have shot himself in the chin while sitting in the back seat of a cab he had hired to take him to the hospital.
Mohamed, a licensed gun owner, is claimed to have taken out his Berreta Pistol from the safe and gone to see his lawyer.

Following the appointment with the lawyer, Mohamed requested a taxi from one of his regular drivers. He then directed the driver to take him to the hospital, where he pulled out a revolver and shot himself while waiting in the emergency room.
It was unclear what Mohamed was suffering from or what type of medication he was seeking.
According to sources, Mohamed rarely strolled with his pistol, but on that fateful day, he got it out and went to his lawyer.
Police are investigating the incident to solve the enigma surrounding the shooting.
