Cop on attempted murder charge offers to compensate family of man he shot

Sean Williams, who was shot by a police officer responding to a report of domestic violence, has been discharged from the hospital and his shooter has offered his family compensation.

Williams, 26, called ‘Sunny,’ of Itaballi, Region Seven, was shot to his back after he reportedly resisted being handcuffed on August 5.

He was rushed to the Bartica Hospital before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) the same evening.

The police, in a statement, had said that a mother made a report at the Itaballi Check Point that her daughter was being assaulted by her reputed husband, Williams. As a result, the subordinate officer in charge sent a constable to the scene with the woman.
