Soldier shot while liming

At about 6.30 pm, a gunman approached the group and opened fire.

After the man escaped residents found Carter on the ground bleeding from gunshot wounds to the chest, shoulder, left leg and both hands.

He was taken to the Arima District Hospital, where he was treated and then transferred to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EW MSC) in Mt Hope where he remains warded in serious but stable condition.

Police believe the gunman attempted to rob Carter and his friends, but when they resisted, he shot at them. No arrest has been made and Northern Division detectives are investigating.
