A 51-year-old man is now at Victoria Hospital following a shooting incident last night (Saturday, July 5) in Fond le Grand, Castries located behind Courts (between Wilton’s Yard and Leslie Land).
Reports are that about nine shots were fired in the direction of the victim, Michael Gustave of Fond le Grand.
One of the shots hit him on the right side of his stomach. It is believed that Gustave was an innocent bystander who got caught in the crossfire.
He was admitted to hospital in stable condition. Police received the shooting report at about 7:30 p.m.
This shooting comes after two reports of shootings in the city Friday night: one between 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the other around 11 p.m. Unconfirmed reports are that one person was injured in the earlier incident.
