Less than 24 hours after Sheldon Newton was hospitalized following a shooting incident in Nevis, another young man is nursing bullet wounds at the JNF Hospital in St. Kitts.
Reports indicate that shortly after 2:00 p.m. Monday, 20-year-old Jason Morton of Hermitage Village, Cayon was shot while in the National Bank’s automated teller machine (ATM) in the vicinity of TDC Home and Building Depot on the Frigate Bay Road.
It has been reported that Morton and a number of men were traveling in a vehicle along the Frigate Bay Road and the driver had stopped for him to withdraw some money from the ATM.
However, while at the ATM, a lone masked gunman approached and fired a number of shots hitting him in the region of his buttocks and one of his legs.
It has also been revealed that on seeing the gunman approaching, those who were in the vehicle disembarked and ran to safety.
A unit from the Emergency Medical Services quickly arrived at the scene and rushed Morton to the hospital, where he underwent surgery and is warded.
