Jan 27, 2013 News

 
Bandits shot a 24-year-old dance instructor around 20:30hrs Friday during a robbery attempt in ‘A’ Field Sophia.
The victim, identified as Reyan Baird, of East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, was shot in his right side during a confrontation with two men on bicycles who were attempting to rob him and one of his female students.
The student, Giovanni De Roche, told Kaieteur News that Baird was following her to ‘C’ Field Sophia where she lives, when two men on bicycles confronted them. She said that one of the men drew a gun and ordered them to hand over their valuables.
De Roche said that she and Baird turned to escape when one of the men shot the dance instructor. The young woman said that she managed to take refuge in a relative’s yard.
Baird was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he was scheduled to undergo surgery. Sources said that his condition did not appear to be life threatening.
