Man shot by a security guard after an argument over a mask in Guyana
Police are looking into an incident in which a 57-year-old security guard allegedly shot a supermarket customer on Tuesday during an altercation over the man's not wearing a mask.
The customer attempted to enter a supermarket in East Bank Demerara but was stopped by a security guard because he was not wearing a mask, which is required by public health regulations to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, which has killed 601 people and infected 24,506 others since March of last year.
Following the argument, the police said that the customer left and later returned with a cutlass, brandishing it at the security guard, who told them that he shot the customer in the leg.
The customer was rushed to Leonora Cottage Hospital and later transferred to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, stable.
