Police investigating shooting by soldier

Police have confirmed that a two-year-old child is dead after a shooting incident involving a soldier at Sangre Grande.

It is alleged that the soldier, in full uniform, went to a house where his infant daughter and her mother lived. Reports are that an argument ensued during which the soldier allegedly pulled out a gun and shot at a male relative of the child’s mother. The man was holding the two-year-old. The soldier, Newsday was told, drove off in a car but was intercepted by police in Valencia and arrested. His gun was also seized.

It is alleged the child fell to the ground but Newsday could not verify whether she had been shot or whether she had hit her head.
