Shop owner critical after gang...
‘Barney’ allegedly robbed a friend of Anthony’s.
Anthony subsequently left the scene and returned yesterday morning with Martin, who is described as one of his associates, in the motor car and they allegedly began to shoot indiscriminately resulting in Lagnah being shot.
The police said preliminary investigations revealed that “Barney” and one of the suspects had an altercation on Tuesday evening after the suspect had accused him of robbing his friend.
Preliminary investigations, they said, revealed that the suspects allegedly armed with handguns, arrived at the location yesterday in the motor car during which another heated altercation ensued with `Barney’ and they began to shoot indiscriminately.
Lagnah was said to be in her shop when she was struck by the bullets.
‘Barney’, the police said, was reported to have been stabbed in his face but his whereabouts are presently unknown.
When this newspaper visited the scene yesterday, residents vented their anger over the incident.
“If yall (the police) can’t come in hay and shoot nobody else can’t do duh”, a son of Lagnah declared.
“Yall better pray nothing don’t happen to she (Lagnah)”, he said.
One man related that he was standing about a corner away from the scene when he heard gunshots start to ‘ring out’. As a result, he said he immediately ran for cover.
