Kaieteur News – A miner on Friday shot his brother to the shoulder with an AR-15 rifle during an argument at 42 Mile Backdam, Port Kaituma, North West District, Region One.

Police identified the victim as Daniel David of Falls Top, Port Kaituma. According to reports, Daniel and his brother, the suspect, work together on the same dredge (used to mine gold) in the backdam.

Police were alerted and ranks visited the location where they found the wounded victim and the suspect in possession of the AR-15 rifle and two live rounds of matching ammunition.

The suspect was arrested immediately and the weapon was confiscated while the victim was taken to the Port Kaituma Hospital where he remains hospitalized.
