Police retrieve firearm dropped by escaping duo

The Police have retrieved a .32 Taurus pistol with an empty magazine that was reportedly dropped by two men who had earlier opened fire on two Police ranks at Camp and Hadfield Streets, Georgetown, on Friday evening.
Police stated that on the day in question, a Detective Inspector was in the company of friends at a bar along Camp and Hadfield Streets, Georgetown, when he observed two men approaching another man who exited a white motor car.
The men reportedly dealt the man several cuffs to his body and seeing that, the Inspector and other persons shouted at them to desist but whilst they were going to the man’s aid, one of the suspects whipped out a handgun from his waist and discharged three rounds in their direction.
As a result, the Inspector drew his service 9mm pistol and discharged five rounds in the direction of the duo who began to run. In the process of making good their escape, one of the men dropped the firearm.
The firearm was subsequently retrieved and during an inspection of the weapon, there was no ammunition in the magazine.
Efforts were also made to locate the victim but Police were not successful. Investigations are continuing.
