By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): A 19 year old woman is recovering in hospital after gunmen opened fire on an apartment in Belmopan late Tuesday night.
The shooting happened around 11:45pm at an apartment on Chi’lam Ha Street in the Maya Mopan area.
According to reports, someone knocked on the back door of the apartment claiming to be a police officer. As the young woman approached the door, shots were fired through it, hitting her. More shots were then fired through a bedroom window before the gunmen fled.
She suffered gunshot wounds to both thighs, her lower body, right shoulder and left elbow. She was taken to the Western Regional Hospital, where she is listed in stable condition.
Police recovered 20 spent 9mm shells, 14 spent .223 shells and seven slugs at the scene.
ASP Stacy Smith said police do not believe the woman was the intended target.
“We do not believe that she was the intended target, but another person who resides at that residence,” Smith said.
Three men were reportedly inside the apartment at the time of the shooting.
No suspects have been identified, and the investigation continues.
