Thirty-six-year-old trader, Randy Grant, is nursing three gunshot wounds about his body. He sustained the wounds when a gunman barged into his West Ruimveldt home and opened fire.
Grant sustained bullet wounds to his back and foot. Another bullet grazed his head.
The incident occurred around 17:30 hours, a few hours after Grant had returned from neighbouring Suriname.
Police believe that the attack was a robbery attempt but there are reports that it might have been a hit that failed. The wounded Grant had on his jewellery and there was no attempt by the gunman to relieve him of anything.
This newspaper understands that Grant was alone at home when the gunman, who according to reports is known to him, kicked open his door and confronted him.
Upon seeing the gunman, who was brandishing his weapon, Grant tried to take evasive action as the shooter pumped several bullets in his direction.
The gunman must have thought that he had killed Grant for after discharging several rounds he tucked away his gun and made good his escape.
The injured Grant meanwhile, waited until the coast was clear and jumped on a bicycle and made his way to the West Ruimveldt Police Outpost where he reported the matter.
A source at the outpost told this newspaper that Grant collapsed after calling out the name of his attacker.
“He say is some ‘Timo’ from East shoot he,” the source said.
A police mobile patrol was summoned and grant was placed into their vehicle and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he began receiving treatment immediately. His condition is listed as stable.
Kaieteur News understands that the police recovered two bullets and eight spent shells at the scene.
Relatives, including Grant’s wife, turned up at the hospital, after hearing of the shooting.
They could not say what had transpired or what could have been the real cause of the shooting.
Armed with the name given by Grant, police have launched a manhunt for the shooter.
