A Laven­tille cou­ple was shot at by a man they knew on Mon­day night, fol­low­ing a ver­bal al­ter­ca­tion.

Po­lice said the 28-year-old man and 20-year-old woman, both of Up­per Pash­ley Street, Laven­tille, were lim­ing at Harlem Road, Trou Macaque, Laven­tille, around 8.45 pm, when they al­leged­ly got in­to an ar­gu­ment with a man they knew from the area.

It was claimed that as the cou­ple got in­to their car and was dri­ving off, the sus­pect walked out from a near­by yard and blocked the car from pro­ceed­ing and fired sev­er­al shots at the man and woman in the car.

The male vic­tim drove to the Besson Street Po­lice Sta­tion where he made a re­port, fol­low­ing which of­fi­cers took the cou­ple to the Port-of-Spain Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal, where they were both ex­am­ined and dis­charged.
