Kitty man shot by group searching for friend

A mason was shot twice to his right leg on Monday evening after he was approached and attacked by a group of men, who were demanding the location of a “friend.”

The shooting occurred around 9.30pm in front of O’Neal Halley’s Lot 77 Queen Street, Kitty, Georgetown home, where he was liming with two of his friends. He was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was treated and then discharged.

The police, in a statement on the shooting, said that earlier in the evening Halley and the suspected shooter had an argument in Albouystown over a previous misunderstanding. He was later confronted by the suspect, who shot him twice on his left leg and escaped.
