posted (September 24, 2018)
And while police are waiting for Longsworth - Hendy to turn himself in - they are still trying to confirm who shot up a policeman's house in San Joaquin, Corozal. It happened on the 20th night but wasn't discovered until the 21st.:...

ACP Joseph Myvett- Head of National Crimes Investigation Branch
"On the 21st of September police received information sometime around 11:30 am from the common law wife of a police officer living in San Joaquin Village who reported to police that on the 20th of September, shortly after 10 pm, she heard several bangs but did not pay much attention to it as she thought it was fire-works. However on the 21st of September around 8 am, when she exited her home and went to the street side, she observed a number of expended shells on the street side. As a result, she further examined her home where she saw damages where apparently seven bullets were fired at her home. The scene was processed where eleven 9 millimeter expended shells were found. At the time of the incident her husband was not at home, but he was at work."

Jules Vasquez- Reporter
"Was the shooting at the home meant to intimidate the lawman whose home it is?"

ACP Joseph Myvett
"We do not know at this point in time. However, there are several leads which we are following in order to determine what resulted in this incident and who is responsible."
