One of the passengers on that flight was a man who had been shot a few minutes earlier in san Pedro.
Carlos Najeras, was shot when he tried to stop a robbery in progress.
Police believe the robbers were from Belize City and that they used a 38 revolver which may have been used in other recent robberies on the island.
Najeras was passing by when he saw a storekeeper bring robbed. He tried to stop the crime and was shot in the foot. His injury is not considered life threatening.
Police say two suspects were involved: one clear skinned, the other dark skinned. After the shooting they dashed out of the store on foot. Regular Police street patrols were busy with the Special Olympics torch when the robbery occurred.
