Berbice teen fires shot after man throws stones on his roof

A 19-year-old is now in Police custody after he allegedly discharged a loaded firearm in the air outside of a man’s home, after the man reportedly threw stones on the roof of his house, which resulted in a broken glass window.
The incident occurred sometime between 03:50h and 04:15h on Tuesday at Tain Settlement, Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).
Polices said the 22-year-old victim, accompanied by a friend, had visited the shop of the suspect to purchase cigarettes.
However, upon their arrival the shop was closed, and the 22-year-old reportedly threw stones on the roof of the building, breaking a glass window as a result. This caused the suspect who had been asleep at that time to awake.
It was reported that the accused became irate and visited the victim’s residence where he fired a loaded gun into the air before leaving.
The matter was subsequently reported to the Police, and the teen was arrested.
