Sophia brothers shot in drive by

Two young B Field Sophia brothers narrowly escaped death when persons in a white car opened fire on them last night.
Nineteen-year-old Paul Softleigh received a bullet to the left side of his face while his 13-year-old brother Joshua was grazed.
It is not clear which one of the brothers was the prime target but it would seem as if the shooters were gunning for the elder brother.
Kaieteur News understands that around 20:50 hours, the brothers were walking in ‘C’ Field when some men in a white car pulled up and opened fire.
The two brothers managed to evade some of the bullets as the car sped away.
After realizing that Paul was wounded in the face the two made their way to the Georgetown Public Hospital for medical attention.
A Police rank at the hospital learnt about the shooting and subsequently informed colleagues who were on armed patrol.
However since none of the brothers could properly identify the car, the police had no useful information to act on.
Investigations are ongoing.
