A man who police said was wanted for questioning in connection with armed robbery is nursing gunshot wounds after being involved in a shootout with lawmen near his home.
Sources identified the injured man as Andrew Smith, 35, of Access Road, Sophia.
Georgetown Public Hospital sources indicated that his condition is critical and he has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.
It is alleged that at around 11:15hrs yesterday, three police ranks, acting on information, went to Access Road, ‘C’ Field, Sophia, where they saw Smith on a bicycle.
On seeing the ranks, Smith allegedly whipped out a handgun, and discharged three rounds at the policemen.
One of the ranks returned fire, hitting the suspect in the vicinity of his left side and left arm.
He was rushed to the GPHC and underwent emergency surgery.
A snub-nosed .38 revolver, four live rounds and two spent shells were recovered by the police.
