A Chinese couple found themselves in double jeopardy last evening as the two became involved in an accident after they were robbed and shot at in front of their Regent Street store.
Reports are that the two, John Tianxiang and his wife Delingxing were attacked by two youths on a CG motorbike as they were about to enter their car after locking up a Regent Street Chinese store in the vicinity of Lucky Dollar.
While it is unclear how many shots were fired, this newspaper understands that Tianxiang, 24, sustained a single gunshot wound to his left side abdomen.
Kaieteur News learnt that after the shooting, the robbers escaped; and Delingxing helped the injured man in the car and proceeded to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
However, on Thomas Street, the two suffered a blown tire which caused Delingxing to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle then crashed into a tree then into a vendor’s stall. Both Chinese nationals were then taken to the hospital.
Reports are that Delingxing escaped the accident without injuries. However, Tianxiang is listed as critical but stable.
Relatives, friends and other Chinese nationals who congregated at GPHC disclosed that the robbers escaped with both victims’ cellular phone and a bag with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police sources say that no arrest has so far, been made.
