Joint Services shoot dead Buxton man

A Buxton Sideline Dam man was shot and killed yesterday morning in what the Joint Services said was an exchange of gunfire, although residents gave a different account of what happened, insisting that the man was not armed and that only one shot was fired.

Tyrone Pollard, 46, of Lot 81 Buxton Sideline Dam, died after receiving a gunshot wound to the upper right side of his back.

The police in a press release said that Pollard, called ‘Theodoris’ was shot in “an armed confrontation with ranks of the Joint Services at Eastville Dam South Buxton.”
