Pensioner shot twice at Norton Street home

Police in Georgetown are investigating a shooting incident that has left a 70-year-old electrician hospitalised with two gunshot wounds.
Injured is Raymond Knipe of Lot 47 Norton Street, Lodge, Georgetown, who was shot about 21:15h on Saturday in his yard.
The victim told investigators that he was parking his minibus, BNN 9253, in his yard when he observed a male dressed in black with a hoodie over his head walking into the yard behind him. The male then pointed a gun at him and squeezed the trigger; however, the gun did not fire.
According to Knipe, he began to run to his house, and the suspect gave chase behind him. As the victim attempted to open the grille door to his apartment, the suspect discharged several rounds in his direction, hitting him. The suspect then exited the yard, entered a car bearing registration number PAB 8252, and drove off in an easterly direction heading to Mandela Avenue, Georgetown to make good his escape.
The injured man was picked up by public-spirited citizens and taken to a city hospital, where he was admitted. According to Police, he is in stable condition nursing two gunshot wounds.
The scene has since been processed, and investigators recovered three 9mm spent shells. Efforts to locate the suspect and the getaway car have been unsuccessful so far. Investigations are ongoing. (G8)
