T&T man killed in bar shooting, four others injured

(Trinidad Guardian) “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment,” was the Bible quote Darlene Gordon used in describing her son Ronaldo Gordon’s tragic death.

However, it was hard for the Moruga mother of five to accept the way her son’s life ended: Gunned down outside a Princes Town bar on Sunday night.

Holding her own yesterday as she reminisced on the humble life Gordon lived, she said it was only now that she realised that innocent people were also murdered.

“When you hear people get gunned down, you would think they were gunmen, drug men or bandits but my son was a quiet and nice child,” Darlene said. Police said Gordon, 23, a security officer at Anscot Security & Service Ltd, was liming with friends outside Seerie’s Bar at the corner of Manahambre and Circular Road, Princes Town, around 10.30 pm when a silver Nissan AD Wagon pulled up.

Two gunmen came out and opened fire in the direction of Gordon and his friends before returning to the wagon which sped off.
