An Angoy’s Avenue businesswoman and her daughter are both nursing gunshot injuries after two gunmen invaded their home on Christmas Eve night.

Angela Khedaroo, 60, of Lot 3 Patrick Dam, Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, explained that around 10.30 pm, she decided to close her shop at which point two men invaded her home. “When I get up I turn around, there is the man with a gun in front me face and he say, ‘give me all the money you got’, so I turn and tell he that ‘brods, me aint got no money because I invest all the money to buy goods to get a turnover”.

The woman explained that she pushed away the gun thinking that it was a “toy gun”, which led to the perpetrator opening fire. “The bullet pass through me hand and I start holler and me daughter run and then the man open another fire and shoot she. We start holla and the man run and go away”.
