A 40-year old Costello Housing scheme resident was up to late last night undergoing emergency surgery at the Georgetown Hospital to remove a bullet from his abdomen.
The victim, identified as Wayne Richie, was shot at around 21:00 hours by a man who eyewitness said he was familiar with.
According to reports, Richie was with some of his friends when a man came up with a black plastic bag in his hand and called him away.
There was what appeared to be an argument and Richie attempted to walk away.
However, the man became annoyed and called out angrily to Richie.
As Richie turned around to respond, a gunshot rang out.
Eyewitnesses said that they did not know that Richie was shot until he came up to them and begged them to take him to the hospital, while the shooter calmly walked away.
He was placed in a car and first taken to a nearby medical centre, but was referred to the Accident and Emergency Unit of the Georgetown Hospital because of his condition.
Although the bullet was lodged in Richie’s abdomen, his condition was listed as stable.
