East bank Demerara : Gold miner Donald Caiton, hair dresser Niomi Singh and taxi driver Mahendra Singh were discharged this afternoon and are resting at home after being treated for gunshot wounds.
Earlier today around 2:15 AM, two armed men went to the home of Niomi Singh’s grandmother at 19th Street, Diamond, East Bank Demerara, and called out for her. She went out to them and was used by the two men to go to the other house in the yard where the three victims reside. The grandmother was forced to call out for the occupants who suspected that it was a robbery attempt.
Consequently Donald Caiton and Mahendra Singh confronted the two armed men and a scuffle ensued during which the two armed men managed to free themselves and while escaping discharged several rounds at them.
Donald Caiton was shot to his left knee, while Niomi Singh was shot to her left thigh and Mahendra Singh received a gunshot injury to his left side.
The police are looking for the gunmen who they believed may know the Daimond residents.
