Sascha Wil­son

A South Oropouche man and his step­son were shot mul­ti­ple times in front of their home last night. Po­lice said around 8.25 pm, Gary Ja­goon, 38, of Leza­ma Trace, St John Vil­lage, and his 18-year-old step­son were in a shed in an open area when Ja­goon's step­son heard a man call his name.

The man who called him was wear­ing dark cloth­ing with a green peak cap and armed with a firearm. There was an­oth­er man with him.

The sus­pect fired sev­er­al as the teenag­er be­gan to run. He got shot in his back and the left side of his but­tocks and col­lapsed a short dis­tance away. Mean­while, Ja­goon suf­fered gun­shot wounds to his chest area. Rel­a­tives took the in­jured men to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal. Po­lice re­trieved three spent 9 mm shells at the scene.

ASP Si­mon and In­sp Pacheco were among the of­fi­cers who vis­it­ed the scene.
