Police are investigating a shooting at Cedars, Castries, on Wednesday, in which a man sustained a gunshot wound to the back.
According to reports, at about 6:40 pm, a gun-toting male confronted the victim as he sat in his vehicle.
The victim tried driving off, but the vehicle ended up in a drain.
He sustained a gunshot wound after he abandoned the vehicle and tried to elude the shooter on foot.
After receiving a call for assistance, a Saint Lucia Fire Service (SLFS) ambulance transported the twenty-nine-year-old patient to the OKEU Hospital.
Reports indicate that he did not sustain a life-threatening injury as the bullet had grazed him.
