RANKS at the Fort Wellington Police Station on the West Coast of Berbice were, up to press time, tight-lipped as to how Detective Constable 19182 Andel Doris had been accidentally shot.Sources told the Guyana Chronicle that Doris was treated for gunshot wounds to his leg and discharged late yesterday afternoon.

An on-duty police constable reportedly discharged his .38 calibre service revolver, causing Doris’s injuries. That constable has reportedly been placed under close arrest, and investigations into the matter are continuing. (Vanessa Narine)
