Freedom House intruder shot

Aug 16, 2015 News

Doctors were yesterday forced to amputate the left arm of an unidentified man who was shot after scaling the wall of the People’s Progressive Party’s Headquarters in Robb Street and allegedly attacking a security guard who was trying to apprehend him.
The intruder sustained shotgun injuries to the left arm and abdomen during the confrontation, which occurred at around 23.30 hrs on Friday.
A police release stated that the man was seen on the roof of Freedom House and was shot when he attacked the security guard with a knife. He has been admitted a patient under guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. Hospital sources said that the man’s unkempt condition suggested that he is a vagrant. Police believe that he might have been attempting to cart off items in the Freedom House compound.
Kaieteur News understands that security camera footage showed the man, and another individual, standing outside Freedom House before he scaled the wall.
According to a source, the intruder had clambered onto a water-tank stand when he was shot.
Police said that the guard was taken into custody but was subsequently released.
