Security guard shot brothers who attacked, stabbed him during disagreement

Two brothers were shot and injured after they allegedly stabbed a security guard of a supermarket during a disagreement over the prices of items on Friday night.

The brothers are Ryan and Randy Narine of La Bonne Intention (LBI), East Coast Demerara.

The security guard is a 25-year-old employee of C.M.C Security Service. He was armed with a shotgun and live cartridges.

He was on duty at the O_GUO Supermarket when the incident occurred at 20:40hrs at Enterprise Railway Embankment, ECD.

Police Headquarters reported that the inquiries revealed that the brothers entered the supermarket to purchase beer and chocolate.  While at the counter, Police said Ryan had a disagreement with the cashier over the price of the items. This caused this security guard to intervene.

“This resulted in a confrontation with the Security Guard, Randy, who was armed with a knife, his brother (Ryan), and another individual known as ‘Boy,” Police Headquarters said.

During the confrontation, Police said Randy allegedly stabbed the security guard in the abdomen.

In retaliation, the security guard discharged two rounds, injuring both Randy and Ryan. They were shot in their legs.

Emergency Medical Technicians from the Melanie Fire Station were summoned, and the brothers were transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.

The security guard was taken to the said hospital by public-spirited citizens. They were all admitted and are currently in stable condition. Investigations are ongoing.
