Two suspects are in custody following a police-involved shooting incident in the Gran Couva area early this morning. According to police reports, during a roadblock on Batchasingh Street this morning, officers attempted to stop a burgundy Ford Focus motor vehicle with three occupants. However, the driver began to reverse, and the suspect seated in the rear seat pointed an object resembling a firearm at one of the officers.
The officer discharged his service issued firearm in the direction of the vehicle. The vehicle then collided with two officers who sustained minor injuries and had to seek medical attention. When the vehicle came to a halt, the armed suspect ran off, while the other two were arrested by officers. Efforts to locate the third suspect proved futile. Investigations are ongoing.
