A 78-year-old retiree is now fighting for her life in the hospital following an unfortunate incident in which she was shot and seriously injured by a lone gunman while sitting on her verandah on Granville Road in Waterford, St Catherine, on Saturday morning.
Reports indicate that around 8:00 am, the elderly woman had just woken up and was seated on her verandah when a man entered the yard and brandished a handgun. The man then opened fire, hitting the elderly woman in the upper body, before fleeing the scene and escaping in the area.
Police were called to the scene, and upon arrival, the injured woman was rushed to the hospital where she received treatment and was admitted in serious condition.
