Two wounded in city shooting remain silent

Two men are lucky to be alive tonight after they were shot as they stood at the corner of Victoria Street and New Road in Belize City. Police say Michael Hemmans and Ken Gough, both twenty-six, were in front of an internet café at the intersection sometime around nine last night when they heard gunshots ring out. The men discovered that they were the targets as Hemmans was shot in the right foot and Gough in his left foot. The victims say all they saw was a guy wearing a cap pass by after the shooting. They were taken for treatment at the K.H.M.H. Hemmans was released, but hospital personnel say Gough discharged himself. Police claim none of the men are offering much information and say they don’t know who shot them or why. Police, however, are seeking two suspects.
