Doctor shot at home

According to reports, at 3.30 pm, Dr Orville Scott was at his Peter Circular Road home when two men entered the house through the front door which was open at the time. Scott confronted the men and a struggle ensued. One of them shot Scott in the abdomen and leg and as he slumped to the ground, the intruders fled without taking anything.

Scott managed to alert relatives who contacted the Arima police and the doctor was rushed to a medical institution where he was treated and remains warded in a stable condition. Police said they hope images recorded via closed-circuit tv (CCTV) cameras outfitted around Scott’s house, could assist them in identifying the gunmen. No arrests have been made.
