Shooting of GDF rank: Police yet to arrest gunmen, victim remains critical

As investigations continue into the shooting incident involving Azim Khan, a 22-year-old member of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), a relative stated that no one was arrested.
Khan was shot and injured during a home invasion last week. He remains in a critical state in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital.

The incident occurred two Sundays ago as Khan and his family came under attack by intruders at their Block 8, Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD) home.
Two masked men forcibly entered the premises and attempted to relieve Khan of an undisclosed sum of cash and a quantity of jewellery.
Khan reportedly put up a fight with the intruders during which he was shot in the vicinity of his heart.
On Sunday, a relative told the Guyana Times that Khan was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital following the shooting incident. Khan suffered injuries to his heart, spleen, and lungs thus leaving him unable to communicate or move.
Medical professionals estimated his chances of survival at 50-50.
However, on Sunday the relative stated that the young soldier is currently recovering at Georgetown Public Hospital and is showing signs of improvement. The family is urging for swift justice and the apprehension of the suspects.
Meanwhile, the police are still on the hunt for the suspects as they continue their investigation.
