A dramatic early morning shootout yesterday in South Ruimveldt Park ended with two of four bandits dead, while the other two escaped; they had beaten and robbed a woman in her home and tried to break into another house two corners away.
The two men who were identified as 21-year-old Edgar Blackman and Sherwin ‘Tupac’ James, 23, of Tucville, were taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where they were pronounced dead on arrival.
The ordeal that spanned about an hour started at Arlene McLean’s Pioneer Lane, South Ruimveldt Park house where four men broke in and robbed her and her sister.
“I got up at four this morning, which I don’t usually do, to cook and before I come out I heard something fall.
