And from that fatal shooting, we report now on what could have been another fatal shooting in an attempted robbery gone wrong at the Twins Supermarket, on Saint Thomas Street in Belize City.
At around 7:30 on Saturday morning a gunman came barrelling into the supermarket and got into a tangle with a fearless security guard.
The Guard told the cops that the gunman strode into the supermarket and came right at him. They ended up in a scuffle over the weapon, and according to the security guard, the would-be thief pulled the trigger on him twice, but the gun jammed.
That man then ran out of the store after clubbing the security guard to the back of the head with the handgun.
Here's more from the Head of the National Criminal Investigation's Branch:
This afternoon, we approached the supermarket owner for comment about the incident but he declined.
