Security guard remanded for firing gun at 10-year-old boy

A 23-year-old security guard has been charged with firing a loaded gun at a 10-year-old boy.

Ted Edwards of Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara appeared on Wednesday before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Diamond /Golden Grove Magistrates’ Courts and pleaded not guilty to the charge. He has been remanded to prison, and the case will continue on May 10.
According to a Police report, the incident occurred on April 15 at the Red Sun Chinese Supermarket at Grove Public Road, EBD. Edwards was arrested the same day. Police Headquarters are yet to release details surrounding the shooting. However, in a video of the alleged shooting being circulated on social media, two males were seen entering the supermarket.
One of these males then turned around, and while pointing his fingers, was seen talking to the male security guard, who was dressed in a blue uniform. During an exchange of words, the guard whipped out what appeared to be a firearm, prompting the male to run away. After allegedly firing the gun, the guard was seen walking behind the male. (G1)
