A few minutes ago, police provided details on the shooting we told you about at the top of the news. They say that messenger for a law firm, Nyrere Parchue was riding on St. Thomas Street when a man pulled up, pointed a firearm at him and demanded that he hand over a folder containing documents. Parchue handed it over, but set chase after his assailant and caught up with him on St. Joseph Street where, again, the robber pointed the firearm at him. This time, Parchue fell to the pavement, knocked his head and lost consciousness. He woke up in the hospital with injuries to the right side of his head and both hands.
So, was he shot - as police told us at the scene?
The initial report says, quote, "we are awaiting an official report from medical official to determine the cause of injuries." So, he may not have been shot after all, and it could be confusion because of the injury he got to his head from falling down. But, we'll have to wait and see what the doctors say. The good news is that he is conscious in the hospital.
