Police are investigating a shooting late on Tuesday night in George Town in which a man suffered a gunshot wound to the back of his head.
The RCIPS, in a statement issued Wednesday afternoon, confirmed that the victim had been taken to hospital by ambulance and was treated for what was described as “a non-life-threatening injury”.
Officers had responded to a report shortly after 11pm that a person had been shot, and observed a man with a head wound outside a business on Eastern Avenue, near School Road. Emergency services attended the location.
Police later determined that the shooting had taken place in the vicinity of Liberty Lane.
Both areas – in Eastern Avenue and Liberty Lane – were cordoned and processed by officers, police said.
