The Arua nightclub shooting was a mass shooting that occurred on 28 September 2006, when Uganda People's Defence Force (UPDF) soldier Andrew Wanyama shot seven people at the Paradise Nightclub in Arua, Uganda, killing three and wounding four others.

At 4:13 a.m. on 28 September 2006, Andrew Wanyama, a private from the 409th UPDF Brigade in Arua, opened fire on patrons at the Paradise Nightclub.

The shooting stemmed from a quarrel between Wanyama and his colleagues over a call girl, although it's unknown why he also shot people unrelated to the dispute.

[1][4] After the shooting, numerous local leaders, including Charles Asiki, the mayor of Arua District, called for an immediate shut down of Paradise Nightclub due to its negative reputation.

Police had repeatedly raided the nightclub because it was a notorious hangout spot for local criminals.
