Three men iden­ti­fied by po­lice as farm­ers were shot last night af­ter gun­men stormed a house in St Au­gus­tine.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors told Guardian Me­dia that the home in­va­sion oc­curred short­ly af­ter 7 pm when ban­dits en­tered the house at Cen­te­nary Ex­ten­sion Street.

In the ini­tial po­lice re­port, the ban­dits at­tempt­ed to rob the men af­ter storm­ing the house.

The farm­ers' po­lice say at­tempt­ed to fight back and in the strug­gle with the armed ban­dits, three of the farm­ers were shot.

One was shot in the chest while the oth­er two were shot in the leg.

While the ban­dits at­tempt­ed to make a hasty re­treat one of them was chopped sev­er­al times.

The armed ban­dits lat­er es­caped in a wait­ing Almera mo­tor­car.

The vic­tims were rushed to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex to be treat­ed.

St Joseph Po­lice Sta­tion is con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions and an All Points Bul­letin(APB) has been is­sued for the es­cape ve­hi­cle.
