SN Assistant Editor shot by pellet after cops open fire on protesters

In what has been described as the indiscriminate shooting of pellets by the Guyana Police Force at Golden Grove on the East Coast of Demerara (ECD) last evening, Stabroek News Assistant Editor Samantha Alleyne was among a number of civilians wounded when the police opened fire and used tear gas.

Her 10-year-old son sustained an injury and was left deeply traumatized.

Alleyne and her son were at the time walking back towards their vehicle, after seeing her sister off in a car at Nabaclis.
