THE Guyana Police Force had its work carefully cut out yesterday dealing with three separate shootings and a major fire that threatened a gas station and nearby communities.Last evening a father of one, Glaston George, was shot and killed while sitting in a minibus along the East Bank Demerara public road in the vicinity of Agricola.
According to information received, the man was heading home but was caught in a traffic jam that resulted from fire at the Eccles Gas Station.
Eyewitnesses reported that a lone gunman walked up to the bus the man was in and shot him several times.
The man recently returned from Suriname and is said to be an interior worker.
Meanwhile in what appears to be an unrelated incident, businessman Abdool Nazir of Canal No.1 Polder, West Bank Demerara, was last evening shot after he was ambushed while driving his BMW motorcar. In what appears to be a carjacking, his attackers threw him from the vehicle and drove off with the Nazir’s friend still in the vehicle.
