Market vendor shot by gun-toting bandits

A market vendor was on Sunday shot by two gun-toting bandits during a brazen robbery at La Penitence Market, Georgetown.
According to reports, the man and his son were selling from their truck around 13:00h when two men rode up on a blue Jialing motorcycle and held the duo at gunpoint demanding money.
The father put up a fight, and in retaliation, the pillion rider discharged several rounds hitting him twice to the back.
The two bandits then relieved him of an undisclosed sum of money before escaping.
The injured man’s son picked him up and rushed him to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was admitted. His condition is listed as critical.
When contacted, acting Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica) Police Commander, Senior Superintendent Phillip Azore stated that investigations were ongoing and declined to provide any other information.
