Unknown armed gunmen stormed into a police station and stole weapons from the store in Gudele in Juba on Friday night, causing a number of casualties.
A local resident said that one police officer was killed and two were wounded when the attack, though this has not yet been confirmed by officials.
The resident said that the gunmen arrived on two Land Cruisers and blocked the two main entrances to the station as they launched their operation.
On Saturday morning the police determined that there were guns missing from the store.
