Two women shot while trying to part fighting schoolgirls

A shooting that occurred on Thursday at about 6.45 pm on Freeman Street, East Ruimveldt, George-town has left two women injured with the suspect yet to be arrested.

The two victims each suffered a gunshot wound. The suspect was identified as Kennard Jabar (age, address and occupation unknown).

Investigations revealed that there was a fight between two 16-year-old school girls from the area. As the fight was taking place, the two women intervened and attempted to separate the girls in an effort to de-escalate the situation. According to eyewitnesses, it was at that point that the suspect who was at the scene drew a handgun from his waist and fired several shots in the direction of the two women. As a result, they both suffered a single gunshot to their right and left hands, respectively. It is unclear if the suspect is affiliated with any of the victims or the school girls.
