Gunmen shoot security guard, take away his firearm at Sophia Health Centre
Kaieteur News – Two men on Thursday walked into the Sophia Health located at C-Field and shot the security guard to his leg while relieving him of his firearm.
The incident reportedly took place around 15:00hrs.
According to the staff members two men attacked the guard and shot him. Four shots were reportedly fired during the process.
However, one of the staff related that after the first shot was fired the men started beating the security guard.
The Ministry of Health employees were forced to seek cover inside the health centre. Luckily the shooters did not proceed to invade the health centre and left after shooting the security guard.

The employees suspect the men might have been bandits because it is not the first time the health centre has been attacked. Employees alleged that armed bandits invaded the health facility several times robbing them of their valuables.
One of them lamented “the ministry of health is only looking in when patients complain, they are not looking into our wellbeing here.”
Police are yet to release a statement on the shooting incident.
