Where is the student who opened fire on his classmates?” This chilling question has flooded social media following the tragic shooting incident at the Seventh-Day Adventist Senior High School (SDA SHS) in Kumasi that left two students seriously injured.

Now, sources close to the investigation have identified the suspect as a student named Amoabeng, whose actions on that fateful Friday morning, April 4, 2025, have stunned the entire nation.

What We Know So Far

According to eyewitness accounts and preliminary reports, the incident occurred during first break, around 9:30 AM, when Amoabeng reportedly brandished a firearm in class. What began as a moment of bravado quickly turned tragic.

Reports suggest that students had questioned whether the weapon was real or functional. In what appears to be an ill-advised response, Amoabeng allegedly attempted to demonstrate the gun’s capabilities—leading to an accidental discharge that hit two classmates, including one female student who sustained facial injuries and began bleeding heavily.

Investigations Underway

School authorities immediately alerted the Suame District Police, who arrived on the scene and arrested the suspect. The victims were first rushed to Kwadaso SDA Hospital before being referred to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for advanced care.

Police have launched a full investigation into how the weapon entered the school premises, with questions being raised about the school’s safety protocols and mental health support systems for students.
