Former Uganda Cranes striker Geofrey Massa has been caught on the wrong side of the law.
On Wednesday night, Massa reportedly had a run-in with police that ended in him being shot at. It is said that Police found his car parked by the road side late in the night in Bweyogerere, but when they asked him to open his door, he refused and sped off. In the process he knocked a police bike, which prompted the officers to shoot at his car.
