Shot La Grange cop on road to recovery

Constable Shanice Fraser, who was shot by her fiancé and fellow colleague Constable Clement Cockfield before he took his own life, is showing signs of recovery, according to Commander of ‘D’ Division Leslie James.

James last night told this newspaper that he had visited the injured officer at the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit and was able to briefly interact with her. He said based on a doctor’s report, Fraser is “on the road to recovery.”

According to the commander, he is optimistic that she will be able to fully recover. He noted that no statement was given by the constable and he added that the police are awaiting for her to talk about the shooting when she is in a much better condition. Cockfield shot Fraser several times on Tuesday night before turning the gun on himself.
