Kenyan police opened fire at a Nairobi stadium, killing two people during a tense public viewing for former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, officials said. The violence flared as crowds surged toward a pavilion holding his casket; officers fired live rounds and tear gas, triggering a stampede and injuries. President William Ruto and other dignitaries briefly sheltered inside as calm was restored and viewing later shifted outside the gates. Odinga, 80, died in India on Wednesday; seven days of national mourning and a state funeral were declared.
