A SECURITY guard who was shot and injured has been hospitalized, after he and another were relieved of their firearms by a group of men on Thursday night, in North Sophia, Georgetown.

Police said the shooting occurred about 21:00 hrs on January 23, when security guards Mortimer Maynard,
45, and Trevor Fraser, 42, attached to a private service, were together and the latter was armed with a .38 revolver belonging to his employer.
The two were attacked by three men who took away the gun from Fraser and discharged three rounds, one of which struck Maynard on his left thigh before the perpetrators escaped with it.
Maynard has been admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) for medical treatment while investigations are in progress. (Michel Outridge)
