Albouystown man shot in Tucville
Twenty-eight year-old Security Guard and father of one, Ian Ambrose, of Cooper Street, Albouystown, was yesterday morning shot in the vicinity of Tucville Bridge, around 08:50 hrs, by a man who allegedly approached
Ian Ambrose just after he was shot.
him and whipped out a firearm before discharging several rounds and fleeing the scene.
A least four bullets struck Ambrose. The man sustained gunshot wounds to his left arm (which was broken by the impact), back, leg and the region of his heart.
According to eyewitnesses, Ambrose was standing in front of the Reserve Housing area which persons from Tiger Bay were placed years ago after a fire, when the assailant opened fire.
A friend who was with Ambrose at the time, after hearing the gunshots rode away on a motorcycle, striking a two-year-old in the process. It is unclear as to what may have sparked the shooting.
According to Audrey Ambrose, the clearly emotional mother of the wounded man, she has no idea what may have caused someone to do such a thing to her son.
“He doesn’t really live with me, but he sleeps over from time to time. He slept at me the night before this incident and this (yesterday) morning he left after preparing his daughter for school”.
“About 10 am I was informed about the incident and I rushed to my son’s aid… I’m a mother of 10, and I love all my children very much,” Ms. Ambrose said.
She added that her son was still in the recovery phase after what was said to be a successful surgery, but his condition was still serious.
Doctors reported that the left arm would not operate effectively at this time, but is expected to improve soon.
Ian Ambrose up to press time was in the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation recovery unit, as the investigations into the matter continue.
