A Belize City man is lucky to be alive after he was shot in the chest late last night. Sometime before midnight, 27 year old stevedore Leroy Gladden was in front of his residence on Black Orchid Street socializing with friends. That's when two men pulled up, and one of them fired several shots at him.

Gladden was shot in the right side of his chest, and is listed in a stable condition. Police haven’t made any arrests.
