An elderly man who resides in Pond Side community in Hanover is now nursing gunshot wounds at the hospital following an incident in his community on Saturday where he was accidentally shot by a gunman’s bullet meant for his son.
Following the incident, the Lucea police have launched a manhunt for the shooter whose identity has been given so far only as ‘Coolie’.
Reports are that about 5:00 PM, the accused man and another man got involved in an argument in the community.
The accused reported rode his motorcycle from the scene but returned shortly afterward with a pillion.
They brandished handguns and opened fire at the man who was standing with his father along the roadway.
Both father and son ran to avoid being shot to death while the gunmen rode away on the motorcycle.
It was later discovered that the father had received gunshot wounds, and he was rushed to the hospital where he was treated and admitted in serious condition.
His son managed to escape unhurt.
