Two men shot by licenced firearm holder

Police have detained a licenced firearm holder who reportedly opened fire on a group of men, injuring two of them, during a confrontation yesterday.

The incident occurred in Kitty and while none of the wounded men received life threatening injuries, the licenced firearm holder got a sound thrashing and had to be rescued by ranks of the Guyana Police Force who were summoned to the scene.
This newspaper understands that the two wounded men were among a group who were offloading a container when the licenced firearm holder drove up and parked his vehicle in a manner that affected the men’s operation.
The group of men became annoyed when the licenced firearm holder refused to remove his vehicle despite repeated requests to do so.
Not realizing that the man was carrying a gun, the men swarmed the licence firearm holder and began raining cuffs and kicks about his body.
Kaieteur News was told that the licenced firearm holder whipped out his gun and fired shots at the men, hitting two of them in the process.
But before he could discharge any more rounds he was swarmed and overpowered by the angry mob and held down until the police arrived.
The two men as well as the licenced firearm holder were taken to the hospital for medical attention.
Investigations are continuing.
