A 24-year-old woman was ward­ed in crit­i­cal con­di­tion while a 25-year-old man was in sta­ble con­di­tion at hosp­tial last night, af­ter they were shot in Port-of-Spain on Wednes­day night.

Po­lice said of­fi­cers of the In­ter Agency Task Force’s Char­ford Court Base re­ceived a re­port of a shoot­ing near Ox­ford Street at around 8.05 pm.

On reach­ing the scene, they found a black Nis­san Ti­i­da with the wound­ed man sit­ting in the front pas­sen­ger side seat while the wound­ed woman was sit­ting be­hind the dri­ver’s side seat.

Po­lice took both vic­tims to hos­pi­tal.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors say the man was treat­ed for gun­shot wounds to both legs, while the woman re­mained ward­ed in crit­i­cal con­di­tion.

Po­lice from the Port-of-Spain Di­vi­sion and the Crime Scene In­ves­ti­ga­tion Unit vis­it­ed the scene and found 22 spent shells of am­mu­ni­tion of var­i­ous types, in­clud­ing 9 mm, 5.56 and 7.63 cal­iber.

Of­fi­cers of the Port-of-Spain CID are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.—Shane Su­perville
