Man on gun, ammo charges accuses cop of shooting him

Kevin Bruce

Kevin Bruce, who is accused of pulling a gun on a police constable, yesterday tearfully told a court that it was the other way around and that he ended up being shot.

Bruce, called ‘Banky,’ was brought yesterday to the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where he pleaded guilty to having a Taurus .32 pistol as well as to having 10 live rounds of matching ammunition in his possession, while he was not the holder of a firearm licence.

The two charges were read to him by Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus. It was alleged that on September 26th, at the East La Penitence Police Station, Bruce had a .32 Taurus pistol in his possession while he was not the lawful holder of a firearm licence at the time.
