In the battle between the police and the youth of Lamashegu, one person has been declared deceased.
During the brawl, another seven people suffered varying degrees of injuries.
A young man who was being sought by the police is said to have run inside the Lamashe-palace Naa's to avoid being arrested by security agents, causing the commotion.
An eyewitness told JoyNews that the young man was being pursued for driving an illegal car.
However, when he ran into the palace, he was allegedly shot by the police, resulting in the disturbance.
The behavior, according to the youngsters, was insulting to traditional authority, which prompted their discontent.
A water cannon was deployed to disperse the teenagers after several bullets were fired.
The dispersed youth have reunited at several vantage points, while the police have set up camp at the Lamashegu police station with water cannons and armed troops.
Following that, a number of troops and police officers joined forces to bring the situation under control.
