Aug 15, 2012 News

 

Five days after he was shot, 27-year-old Shane Hinds is still battling for his life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Hinds, an alleged suspect during a botched robbery in Thomas Street, North Cummingsburg, was shot several times about his body and has been unconscious since the day he was wounded.
The 27-year-old, who is on a life-support machine, is said to be a resident of Lot 193 Middle Road, East La Penitence, Georgetown.
The wounded man, who is under police guard, was admitted to the ICU minutes after he underwent emergency surgery at the hospital. Doctors at the facility said that his condition is “very” critical and his chances of survival are “slim.”
Hinds’ family, when contacted, said that they would not talk to the media until his condition is stabilized. “We will talk to the media but only when his condition improves, we want to protect him,” one of the man’s aunts stated.
On Friday, an armed motorcyclist, identified as Hinds, was shot by police during a botched robbery.
His accomplice managed to escape. Police reportedly retrieved two handguns from the wounded man and also impounded the CG motorcycle he was riding. One of the handguns was reportedly stashed in the man’s underwear.
A Thomas Street resident, Yonette Cummings, who was standing nearby, was accidentally shot in her leg. She was taken to GPHC and later discharged.
