A 29-year-old gas station attendant was approached by two men he knew as residents while walking along a track on Fraser Street around 6:20 PM on Friday. After a brief conversation, one of the men shouted 'Shoot him' and lifted his jersey to reveal what appeared to be a firearm, causing the victim to fear for his life. As the victim ran away, he heard several loud explosions believed to be gunshots but was not struck. The two men fled the scene before police arrived. Officers from Point Fortin CID and patrol units searched the area and interviewed residents. Crime Scene Investigators processed the scene but recovered no spent shells or other evidence. The investigation is ongoing.
