Wanted man shot by police in N/A

Jul 20, 2012 News

Richard Barrow called ‘110’ and ‘Hensu’, who is wanted for a number of crimes including robbery under arms and escaping from lawful custody, was shot and wounded by police in New Amsterdam yesterday morning.
Acting on information, the lawmen surprised Barrow by invading his hiding place – his mother’s residence at Smythfield.  The source said that Barrow was shot as he attempted to make a getaway.
Eyewitnesses say that the man, who was wanted for over a dozen robberies and also for escaping from Central Police Station in New Amsterdam, was in a yard when he was confronted by a party of police officers.
According to his reputed wife, Angela Chase, Barrow was at a house not too far away speaking with a young lady who is pregnant for him. Barrow started to run when he saw the police. He ran and jumped over a fence and into another yard.
She said he made an attempt to escape but realized that the area was surrounded.
According to reports, Barrow was struck by a bullet to the right arm as police opened fire when he attempted to jump a third fence. He was then apprehended and taken into custody.
Doctors at the New Amsterdam Hospital performed surgery to Barrows forearm. It is still unclear how many bullets struck the fugitive. Barrow was later placed under heavy guard at the hospital.
