Bartica teenager shot by friend
A teenager from Bartica is nursing a gunshot wound to his left foot after a night out with friends turned ugly on Tuesday.
Police say that at about 19:30 hours that night Andy Fraser, of Sixth Avenue, Bartica, and a group of friends were at the Bartica beach when it is alleged that one of them took out a firearm and discharged a round which struck Fraser to his left foot.
The police did not say if the shooter is in custody. Neither did they say if they recovered the gun that was used and if the shooter is licensed to carry it.
Relatives of the injured teen were contacted yesterday but they declined to give any details of what transpired.
Fraser’s father told Kaieteur News that he was in the city when he received a message informing him about the incident.
“I prefer to allow the police to conduct their investigations and we will issue a statement tomorrow (Thursday),” he said.
The investigations are ongoing.
