A Co­corite woman was shot on Tues­day night while stand­ing on the road out­side her boyfriend’s house.

The 20-year-old vic­tim of Wa­ter­hole, was at Cuth­bert Cir­cu­lar, Four Roads, Diego Mar­tin, around 9.30 pm on May 7, when she saw a masked man walk­ing to­wards her with a gun in his hand.

The man start­ed run­ning to­wards her, shoot­ing at her in the process.  

The woman re­port­ed­ly ran in­to the yard in a bid to es­cape.  How­ev­er, she was shot in the right ear. 

The sus­pect es­caped.

A res­i­dent took the in­jured woman to the St James Med­ical Com­plex, where she was treat­ed and ward­ed in a sta­ble con­di­tion.

She was ex­pect­ed to be dis­charged to­day.

Ev­i­dence col­lect­ed at the scene in­clud­ed six 9-mil­lime­tre spent shell cas­ings.
