Seven people are dead and four others wounded following an attack on a
police station by gunmen in Tanzania’s largest city.
Tanzania's police Chief Ernest Mangu said four of the victims were
police officers.
Three civilians were also killed in the attack; however, police
believe one of them was among the attackers.

Mangu said the gunmen escaped with an unknown number of firearms and
ammunition.
There have been at least three attacks on Tanzanian police stations
this year.
Last month a police officer was killed in an attack on a police
station in the Mkuranga district of Tanzania's coastal region.
