Police say officers in the area noticed the man along with two other men, acting in a suspicious manner.<\/P><\/p>\n
At the time, an armored vehicle was in the vicinity transporting a cash cargo for FirstCaribbean International Bank.<\/P><\/p>\n
According to police spokesman, Chief Superintendent Hulan Hanna, the men attempted to flee the scene when they saw the officers.<\/P><\/p>\n
Mr. Hanna said police caught two of the suspects in the plaza’s parking lot.<\/P><\/p>\n
He said the other suspect ran down East Bay Street pointing a gun at the officers.<\/P><\/p>\n
“Fearing for their lives, the officers shot the suspect in the left leg and left forearm.” Mr. Hanna said.<\/P><\/p>\n
That suspect was subsequently taken to the Princess Margaret Hospital for medical attention. His condition was not known up to press time.<\/P><\/p>\n
The incident, which took many employees of the Harbour Bay area by surprise, also resulted in traffic being diverted through the popular shopping plaza while a team of officers continued investigations.<\/P><\/p>\n
The crime scene was littered with drops of blood, two of the suspect’s hats, and a 9mm handgun with 14 live rounds of ammunition. <\/P><\/p>\n
The men are expected to go before court sometime next week on gun possession charges and other related offenses, Mr. Hanna said.<\/P><\/p>\n
