A woman was shot last night in downtown Belize City. The barrage of gunshots rang out at around 9:30 near the corner of Albert and South Streets -which is just a block from our studios. It sounded like pop shots but they were real bullets which injured one woman in her right palm. Police haven’t released her name or even disclosed where the incident occurred. She told police she was in the area at the time with her common-law husband and her uncle when they heard the gunshots. She says she later realized that she had been shot in the palm.

Police Press Officer Clemente Palacio told us that the reason why the details are scarce is because it is quote, “a sensitive issue.”
