One adult male is now a patient at the Princess Margaret Hospital after sustaining a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
Police PRO, Pellam Jno Baptiste, said the alleged incident took place about 4 am on Sunday, the 16th of October 2016.
Jno Baptiste stated that 35 year old Leon Forde of Pottersville, sustained a gunshot wound while attending an entertainment activity at the Kaleb Laurent Primary School grounds in St. Joseph.
Forde was transported to the Accident and Emergency Department of the Princess Margaret Hospital, where he was examined by a medical doctor and subsequently admitted.
The police PRO said that investigations are ongoing.
Anyone with information which can assist the police with the investigation can contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 2665164, 2665165 and 2665119. Persons may also contact Crime Stoppers Dominica at 18008477.
They cannot go to an entertainment place without carrying a gun. Why? Looking for trouble? People attend for fun; not to be injured or murdered.
These people spoil those areas and will prevent some people from ever attending those functions.
Those who go to those places should be searched for weapons at the gate. This should be a condition for entrance. Or warn them not to carry a gun.
Turnstiles are necessary which will detect weapons. Work with the police to avoid these incidents.
zandoli so true!! I can’t understand these people what alleged it’s a fact an done.smfh
Without any further information about this incident, I am laying 100% of the blame at the feet of the Prime Minister and Chief Carbon. It’s their fault and their fault only.
Do you not reside in the US? How can you lay the blame on them? Did they cause the man to be shot or shot him? Explain yourself.
I do think your comment is stupidity.
DNO, the incident was not alleged. It is an established fact.
The story is not known, how he happened to be shot and by whom. The perpetrator has not yet been caught; not yet charged. This may be the reason why it is alleged.
