Police shooting at Windsor Forest melee under probe

Ramnarine Jagroop shows the bandaged wound yesterday.

Several persons remain in custody and the Police Office of Professional Responsibility has launched a probe of the Monday night Windsor Forest incident in which three persons were struck by pellets, including an overseas-based Guyanese who is in a serious condition at a city hospital.

Police said that they were forced to open fire after a crowd – irate after police ordered the music sets to be turned off – attacked them on Monday night. Residents told Stabroek News yesterday that no one had attacked the police. However, on the road there were marks where a tyre was set aflame
