Alleged San Pedro shooter, 21 year old Christian Espat was arraigned and remanded to prison yesterday in Belize City Magistrate's Court.

Espat appeared before Magistrate, Carlon Mendoza at around 4:15 p.m., and was read seven criminal offenses. He was charged with two counts of attempted murder, three counts of use of deadly means of harm with a dangerous weapon, and two counts of dangerous harm upon primary school students, aged 12 and 9, along with 27 year old Lloyd Tyndall.

Espat was supposed to have been represented by well-known attorney, Dickie Bradley who said he didn't know that his client would have been taken to court late yesterday evening without his knowledge.

He said he is making arrangements for a bail application for Espat which is expected to be done as early as this Friday.

On Saturday night on the san Pedrito Area of San Pedro the three males were shot at A Woodwork Shop, when a lone gunman opened fire on them. Tyndall was severely wounded as he was shot as many as four times, while the 9 year old boy was shot to the left wrist and the 12 year old was shot in the right buttock.
