Police are investigating a shooting that left a man hospitalised in Chateaubelair during the early hours of Monday.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF) said officers responded to reports of a shooting in the vicinity of Plan Village, Chateaubelair, at about 1:00 a.m. on August 17.
When police arrived at the scene, they found a man suffering from what appeared to be gunshot injuries.
The injured man was taken to the Chateaubelair Smart Hospital for emergency treatment before being transferred to the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital, where he remains warded and is receiving medical care.
Investigators processed the scene and have launched an investigation to determine exactly what led to the shooting.
