Security guard Rory Deegs, who was shot during the attempted robbery outside El Dorado Trading in Newtown, Kitty on Monday, says that he believes that the target of the attack, the now dead Deon Stoll, fired at him because he misidentified him as one of the robbers since he was dressed similarly at the time.
Deegs, who was shot twice, told Stabroek News yesterday that he was performing his duties inside the Lot 63 Da Silva Street, Newtown, Kitty business place when the shooting began.
“I was in the premises… I am actually securing the premises that I am at but this thing, everything happen so quickly,” he said.
