We turn now to a shooting in Ladyville which left a 17 year-old suffering from a gunshot injury to the back.
Police say that at around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 15th, they visited Partridge Street in Ladyville, where they found 17 year-old Norman Haulze suffering from a gunshot wound to upper left side of his back.
Their investigation has so far revealed that another young man went to the house looking for someone else, and an argument erupted between Haulze and his shooter. This person began questioning Haulze about the other person, and because Haulze refused to cooperate, the assailant pulled out a weapon and struck him in the back with it. Unfortunately, the gun discharged a bullet, which hit Haulze in the upper left side of his back, and then exited in the lower left side.
Assistant Superintendent Alejandro Cowo from CIB in Belize City shared more information with the media today:
