Customer shot in grocery robbery

A Belize City man is in the hospital after he was shot in a supermarket on
Tuesday night. According to police reports, twenty-nine year old Burak
Baysal, a Turkish national, was in Tang’s Supermarket on Vasquez Avenue
around 8:00 on Tuesday night when two men approached the store and demanded
they be let in. Baysal, suspecting trouble, refused to open the door.
It was then that one of the men pulled out a handgun and fired a shot
through the store’s glass door. The shot hit Baysal in the chest while
the shooter and his accomplice fled the scene. Baysal was admitted to
ward at Belize Medical Associates where he remains tonight in a stable
condition. His attackers are still at large. The only description of the
men is that they men are of dark complexion and that the gunman was wearing
a red T-shirt and cap at the time of the incident.
