		</div><p>A police officer in a central Kenyan town has gone on a shooting rampage, killing 10 people in three different bars, officials said.</p>
<p>The shooting spree happened on Saturday night in Siakago, 90 miles north-east of the capital, Nairobi.</p>
<p>Officials are investigating the shootings, said provincial police chief Marcus Ochole. He confirmed 10 people were killed but said he could not immediately provide details.</p>
<p>John Chelimo, the district commissioner, said the suspect, who he said was in his 30s, went out last night looking for a female friend but that he could not find her.</p>
<p>The officer is in police custody, Chelimo said.</p>
<p>&#8220;He has not talked and the motive is not clear,&#8221; Chelimo said.</p>
<p>A local radio reporter, Antonin Newite, said the police officer opened fire in three different bars, killing one person in each of the first two bars and eight people in the third bar.</p>
<p>Many locals did not realize what was happening because they mistook the gunfire for fireworks, said Newite. Many Hindus in Kenya were celebrating the festival of Diwali.</p>
<p>The killings sparked a mass protest in front of the Siakago police station, said Nyaga Manunga, whose daughter was one of those killed. He said the shootings took place very close to the police station.</p>
<p>&#8220;In Siakago there is no security,&#8221; Manunga said. &#8220;Someone can&#8217;t just shoot 20 to 30 bullets without any reaction from the police.&#8221;</p>
