Shooting Follows Couples Heated Argument

Man stable after being shot in leg

Friday, October 12 2012
A 37-year-old man is currently warded in stable condition at the Arima District Health Facility after he was shot following an altercation with his wife.
Police reported that Jason Blanc, of Maturita Extension, Bypass Road, Arima, was in the company of his wife Charmaine, at the home of a close friend of theirs along La Retreat Road, Guanapo, when the couple got into a heated argument.

During the argument, a man who is known to both parties walked up to Blanc, and without much warning, pulled out a firearm and shot him once in one of his legs. The wounded man then fled the scene. He was not pursued by his attacker.

Eventually, Blanc was transported to the Arima District Health Facility where he was treated and, up to yesterday, was said to be in a stable condition. The police were notified about the incident, and a party of officers did visit the scene of the incident. However, the suspect was not found.

Despite this, investigators are confident that the suspect will be held. Investigations are continuing.
