Kaieteur News understands that the businessman who owns a general store was at his business place at No 78 Village, Corriverton, when he received a call that someone was walking up and down in his backyard.
He immediately armed himself with his firearm and went to investigate. He confronted the individual.

The businessman called upon the man to surrender when he tried to flee, forcing the businessman to open fire wounding him in his left arm and leg. He still managed to jump the fence.
