posted (February 14, 2019)
And from that chopping in Cayo, we report now on a shooting which happened in Corozal Town.

28 year-old Charles Itza, a resident of the Venezuela site in Corozal Town, was shot in the right foot by an assailant at around 9:00 on Tuesday night.

Police told us what they know about this incident:

ACP Joseph Myvettte - Head, NCIB
"On Tuesday last, sometime around 8:45 p.m., Charles Itza reported that while riding his bicycle on the Santa Rita Road, he was attacked by a masked male person, who fire shots towards his direction. As a result, he received 1 injury to his right leg. He is in a stable condition, and at this point in time, even though we're following several leads and we have interviewed him, he does not have any named suspect."

Daniel Ortiz, reporter
"Does he have any ideas as to who would want to hurt him?"

ACP Joseph Myvette
"No, we do not know that, however, I can say to you that he is known to police."
