A 40-year-old Point Fortin man cur­rent­ly is ward­ed at the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal in a sta­ble con­di­tion, af­ter he was shot by a lone gun­man in his home, on Tues­day af­ter­noon.

Re­ports are that Aki­no­la Bartholomew was sit­ting in the liv­ing room of his home at Salazar Trace when the gun­man en­tered through the back door.

The as­sailant re­port­ed­ly was dressed in a hood­ie and with a red ban­dana cov­er­ing his face.  He is said to have point­ed the gun at Bartholomew, who got up off the chair and start­ed run­ning out of his house.  The gun­man opened fire, hit­ting Bartholomew on his left thigh.

The gun­man then ran through some bush­es and es­caped.

Bartholomew was treat­ed at the Point Fortin Area Hos­pi­tal and then trans­ferred to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal, where he is ward­ed in a sta­ble con­di­tion. 

WC­pl Fred­er­ick, In­sp Ram­par­tap, Cpl Singh and WPC Blaize vis­it­ed the scene.

En­quiries con­tin­ue.
