A 35-year-old shopkeeper of Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara, was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) on Friday night, nursing three bullet wounds, reportedly sustained when three armed men attacked him as he was passing through Agricola, EBD.The father of three was relieved of his wallet containing $60,000, a cellular phone, two gold chains, and two gold rings.

The shots the bandits discharged struck him to the chest, face and shoulder, and he was rushed to the GPHC, where he was treated and admitted for the night.
The matter was subsequently reported to the police, who visited him at the hospital, and took a statement. However, he had apparently taken his own discharge by mid-afternoon on Saturday.
