Jun 06, 2017 News

Up to press time, the cops had no lead in the shooting of Jewel Gibson who was wounded during an attempted carjacking around 22:00 hrs on Sunday.
Kaieteur News understands that the police were provided with a description of the men but have no one on file based on the details given.
Gibson was shot in the stomach outside her residence at Lot 2, Victoria Road, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara.
The attack occurred six doors away from the Sparendaam Police Station. The victim who is employed as a librarian with the Guyana Defence Force was in stable condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
A woman who lives on the same premises as the victim said that Gibson had just arrived home and had turned into the driveway when she was attacked.
The woman said she was inside when she heard “a popping sound.” She then heard Gibson screaming, and on looking outside, saw a man “leaning into” Gibson’s vehicle.
The woman said that she alerted her husband, who went outside. However, by then, the robber and an accomplice had fled.
The tenant and her husband took Gibson to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Kaieteur News understands that the bullet exited through Gibson’s side.
It is suspected that Gibson’s attackers were aiming for her car, which she only acquired a few months ago.
