A 33-year-old man of Belle West, #2 Canal, West Bank Demerara was arrested by Police ranks at around 11.40 last night at the 626 Bar at Good Hope, East Coast Demerara, after he allegedly discharged a loaded firearm.
The police say that enquiries so far disclosed that the suspect and his 28-year-old cousin, a businessman of Bel Air Village, Georgetown, who is a licensed firearm holder of a Taurus pistol, were at the 626 Bar consuming alcohol, when the suspect (who had his cousin’s firearm in his possession) took out the pistol from his waist and discharged a shot in the air.
