Police shot a machete-wielding man in Corozal. Yesterday police responded to a domestic abuse case but it escalated pretty quickly where police say they had to subdue the complainant's brother. Here is more.
Wilfredo Ferrufino, Inspector, CIB
"Police responded to a domestic report at a residence in Corozal. The report was that a female was being beaten by a male. Police arrived at the residence and dealt with the matter. However the brother of the female was not satisfied with the matter that police dealt with the report. As a result he became aggressive to the officer and in the process pulled a machete and the police tried to query from him what was the situation. However he advanced toward the police with the machete and as a consequence was shot. He was treated and released and he is detained pending charges."
"In any police involved incidents or shootings, I am sure that the professional standards branch do step in and they do conduct their parallel investigation in matters that involve police."
As you heard, professional standards branch will be looking into the case.
