Two persons were up to Monday hospitalised for gunshot wounds after a man in a car opened fire on Lover’s Lane, Amelia’s Ward, Linden, the Guyana Police Force said on Monday.
The incident occurred on Sunday night at about 10:30. Those injured are a vendor of Central Amelia’s Ward, 32 years old, and a carpenter of South Amelia’s Ward. Their names were not disclosed and police did not say whether any suspects were detained.
