Three shot in two separate incidents

Apr 22, 2013 News

Three men are hospitalised after being shot in two separate incidents over the weekend.
Courtney Persaud, 30, and Ralph Paul, 43 of Land of Canaan, East Bank of Demerara, were shot while at a house party in the same village on Saturday night.
According to Persaud, he was having beers with a group of friends in the front yard of the Block X residence where the party was being held, when two unidentified men barged in.
This caused an argument to ensue between them and another patron.
Persaud added that one of the two “party crashers” started firing into a section of the crowd.
Persaud, who was just an onlooker, was shot twice. One of the bullets is still lodged in his left shoulder, while the other grazed his right arm.
Paul, who was also a mere spectator to the whole argument, is nursing a single gunshot wound to the right side of his neck. The shooter remains at large while investigations continue into the incident.
Meanwhile, at around 01:15hrs the following day, mini-bus driver, Rabindra Samaroo, 26, of Owen Street, Kitty, was the victim of a drive by shooting.
Samaroo was standing in the vicinity of Owen Street when shots were discharged at him from a motor vehicle that was driving by.
A press release from the Guyana Police Force said that Samaroo was hit to his abdomen, and has been admitted to GPHC for medical treatment.
Investigations are also continuing into this incident.
