Gunfire

Deputies were called to a home in the 2200 block of Falling Oaks Road about 9 p.m. Saturday to perform a welfare check, Harris County Sheriff spokesman Thomas Gilliland told KHOU-TV . Gilliland said deputies subsequently received information indicating that a man inside the home was wanted on a warrant for aggravated assault on a family member.

Incumbent President Pierre Nkuruniziza's bid for a third term in office has caused unrest ahead of the election.

Local journalist Patrick Wasso said the gunfire and explosions late Monday came from the direction of the Nyakabiga neighborhood where weeks of protests were held after the April announcement that Nkurunziza will run for a third term in office.

It was not immediately clear if anyone had been injured.
