After firing the gun, with the aim of killing the lady, Sampson shot himself and died in the process, thinking the lady had been killed.
Kofi George, a resident who narrated the incident said:
“I was told, the gentleman traced the girlfriend to the new boyfriend’s room. So he shot the girl through the trap door, but fortunately, the girl survived, but the bullet hit her on the left breast. The man thought the lady was dead, so he then reloaded the gun and shot himself, dying instantly.”
