Man wounded in city shooting

While Harry Lawrence was relatively lucky to be assaulted with the gun’s butt instead of its bullets, not every crime victim was so fortunate. Twenty-four hours earlier, on Thursday morning, a man was shot in the leg as he stood on Cemetery Road near Curassow Street. Twenty-three year old Albert Lewis of Partridge Street told Police that around 6:45 a.m. a man known to him only as Jerry, rode up on a black beach cruiser bicycle and threatened him. When words were not enough, Jerry then pulled out a chrome plated thirty-eight pistol and squeezed off a round into Lewis’ upper left leg. Jerry rode off on his bike, while Lewis was carried to the K.H.M.H. where he was admitted in stable condition. Police are still looking for the gunman.
