During the PPP rule, the afc/apnu would have been protesting this shooting by police and cry police abuse. Now they stay quiet as they are in charge.

A 30-year-old man is nursing a single gunshot wound to his foot at the Georgetown Public Hospital after he was shot resisting arrest. The incident occurred sometime around 14:45h on Tuesday.

The injured man has been identified as Tabeco Mc Kenzie of East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, Georgetown. He was shot once to his left foot.

According to reports, the man’s reputed wife made a report of assault against him at the East Ruimveldt Police Station on Tuesday.
