Reports to the North Coast Times are that near midnight on Friday, patrons were at Giggles Paradise bar in St Ann’s Bay when two men entered. One brandished a gun and they demanded cash and valuables.
After receiving some cash and other items, the gunman pointed his firearm at the firearm holder and demanded money. The firearm holder moved away, pulled his gun, and fired at the gunman whose gun apparently misfired. He and his accomplice ran from the bar. The gunman was later found outside on the road in a pool of blood.
The other man ran away but a trail of blood suggested he was shot.
The wounded gunman was taken to the nearby St Ann’s Bay hospital where he was admitted.
