Caribbean Net News: Three Venezuelans shot in Grenada

ST. GEORGE�S, Grenada: Three Venezuelan nationals are nursing bullet wounds at the General hospital here after they were shot by police on Saturday evening.

The police were reportedly on investigations in the south of the Caribbean island when eleven Venezuelan men were spotted on a fishing boat.

Eight Venezuelans are now in custody being interrogated by police.

Though this incident happened since Saturday there has been no official release from the police Public Relations Department up to Monday afternoon and the circumstances surrounding how the men got shot are still unclear.

One of the attorneys representing the men claimed his clients are fishermen who he understands were unarmed when police opened fire on them.

The three Venezuelans bleeding profusely were whisked away to receive medical treatment at the island's largest medical facility in the capital and are now warded there under police protection.
