TWO men were killed and a 17-year-old girl was injured in a house robbery on Saturday morning.
The incident took place in Bon Air Gardens, Arouca, which resulted in the two men – Chris “Bellies” Williams and Shawn Anthony Williams – both being shot dead.
The girl was shot in the ankle and remained in hospital until Saturday morning.
According to police reports, the men were in a home near Sparrow Drive, Arouca, at about 2:40 a.m. when gunmen opened fire and started firing.
Chris was dressed on the bedroom floor wearing a black vest and white boxers. He had gunshot wounds to his upper body and abdomen.
Shawn was found on top of a basket of clothes in a bedroom with a black sweater and boxers on. He had gunshot wounds to his neck and leg.
Officers said they were told the girl and her mother were sleeping in the house when they were awakened by ‘loud noises’.
It is said that the mother’s boyfriend (Chris) was preparing dog food in the kitchen at the time, but quickly started shouting ‘armed men, armed men’.
Two men dressed in black and masks enter the house and start shooting.
During the melee, the girl was also shot to the right ankle.
Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
