Security guard in custody for shooting pump attendant’s ex-boyfriend

Thirty-year-old Stephen King is now nursing a gunshot wound to his left leg, from a security guard at the Two Brothers Service Station, Eccles Public Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD) on Saturday.
Based on reports received, King, of Evan Phillips Park, Agricola, Greater Georgetown, turned up at the Service Station where he confronted a female pump attendant with whom he shared a relationship. At the time, King was carrying a haversack on his back.
However, not too keen on him visiting her, the woman ran towards the security officer who was armed with a 9mm pistol and 17 rounds of ammunition.
At that time, it was reported that King placed his hand in the haversack and upon seeing this, the security officer drew his pistol and discharged a round that struck him in his lower left leg.
The injured man, Police stated, rode out of the gas station and soon after, the shooter proceeded to the Providence Police Station, where he reported the matter. He was arrested, and the firearm and remaining ammunition were handed over to the ranks.
Based on reports received, the Police went to the Diamond hospital where King was being treated. His haversack was subsequently checked, and a bunch of keys uncovered. The injured man was taken into custody as investigations continue.
