Another Shooting In Iguana Area
posted (April 5, 2017)

There was another Belize City shooting last night - but, again, the injuries are not considered serious. It happened at around 7:50 last night on Iguana Street. 55 year old Bernard Bent was standing outside his house when he was shot to the his leg. He was rushed to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital where he is stable. Reports suggest that Bent may not have been the target; and the shots may have been intended for a relative.

And while police are not classifying it as a major incident, we note that our reports from the neighborhood say that over five shots were fired. We saw bullet holes in a fence, and the tyre on a parked car was also shot out. We note also that two men were shot - also in the foot - the night before right around the corner from where Bent was hit.
