Thirty-year-old Charles Tobin of 15 Church Street, Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara was, in the wee hours of Thursday, shot once to his abdomen at Breda Street Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, and is currently battling for his life at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC).
A baker of Breda Street reportedly told the Police he had heard two loud explosions that sounded like gunshots, and he went to investigate. Upon so doing, he saw a large crowd observing a man lying on the roadway with blood oozing from his abdomen.
The baker claimed to have run towards Hadfield Street and summoned a taxi to take the injured man to the hospital.
Tobin was immediately admitted a patient at the GPHC, and underwent emergency surgery.
The Police have checked for surveillance footage, but have come up empty-handed. Investigations into the shooting incident are nevertheless ongoing.
