Kaieteur News: "Doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital were desperately trying to save the life of a 20-year-old market vendor and her unborn child, after the woman was accidentally shot on Water Street by an off duty police officer who was pursuing a bandit in the vicinity of Stabroek Market yesterday morning.
Earlene Morgan, of 64 Company Road, Buxton, who is five months pregnant with what would be her first child, was rushed to the hospital nursing a gunshot wound to the back. Hospital sources have indicated that the bullet is lodged in the woman’s spine and removing it may cause her to lose her child or become paralyzed.
According to eyewitnesses, the off duty police officer was trying to apprehend a bandit who had just snatched a cell phone from a female student when he accidentally shot the woman. The bandit who was riding a bicycle managed to escape in the crowd."
