Fort George: A gunman today attacked and robbed a group that involved 60 children at a summer camp in Fort George this afternoon leaving them trumatised and now candidates for couselling.
Police have reported that shortly after midday, the children and counsellors had re-entered several buses that brought them to the site, when a gunman jumped a fence and entered the washroom where two counsellors and participants were cleaning up.
He proceeded to rob one of the consellors and two children while the other counsellor ran off. The screaming children ran back to the vehicles, one of whom sustained injuries when she fell.
They related their ordeal to their other peers who began to panic. At the same time police who were on patrol in the area spotted the gunman and fired at him but he escaped.
Police say that because of the limited security at the fort, vistors are targets for bandits.
