A 31-year-old shopkeeper of Bachelor’s Adventure, East Coast Demerara (ECD), has been hospitalised after he was shot in Paradise Housing Scheme.

Reports are that around 20:00hrs on Thursday, Taffy Adams sustained a gunshot wound to his left arm after several men in a silver-grey Toyota 212 motorcar opened fire in his direction. The man had left his home earlier on a pedal cycle and went to a shop at Paradise, when the men drove up.

Adams was taken to the Enmore Police Outpost, then to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) for treatment. The police are searching for the suspects.
