A St. Maartenstraat shooting injured two men, ages 18 and 27, during the early hours of October 13 in San Nicolas.
Gunfire struck two men near a basketball court
According to 24ora, the men were with friends at a basketball court when a car and a motorcycle passed the area. Shots were fired, striking both men, and those responsible left the scene.
The victims’ friends told police they did not know who fired the shots.
Friends brought the victims to ImSan
Friends first transported the two men to ImSan Medical Center in San Nicolas. Because the injuries involved gunfire, ImSan staff contacted police.
Two ambulances then transferred the men to Horacio Oduber Hospital. Police vehicles escorted the ambulances with emergency lights and sirens to clear the route.
Police continue the investigation
Initial information indicated that one victim was more seriously injured than the other. The source later reported that doctors removed the bullets and that both men were in good condition before being discharged to recover at home.
Police are investigating the drive-by shooting and have asked anyone with information to come forward. The shooters had not been identified in the report.
