An insurance agent was shot about 20:00 hrs on Christmas Eve after he reportedly foiled a robbery attempt.
According to the police, on Saturday night, Insurance Agent Andrew Correia, 56, of ‘D’ Field, Sophia, was walking along the roadway at ‘A’ Field, Sophia, when he observed two suspicious looking men standing on the road.
Correia threw a bag he had in his possession into a friend’s yard, whereupon one of the men shot him to his left foot and they escaped.
Correia has been admitted a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital as the investigations continue.
