A Princes Town con­trac­tor and his fam­i­ly es­caped in­jury af­ter gun­shots were fired at their home ear­ly yes­ter­day morn­ing.

They were at their Iere Vil­lage home around 12.10 am when they heard loud ex­plo­sions.

They sub­se­quent­ly dis­cov­ered bul­let holes in a front win­dow and wall of the house and two bul­let holes in their Hilux van. Ini­tial in­for­ma­tion stat­ed that the shots were fired by an as­sailant who es­caped in a wait­ing car. Po­lice re­cov­ered eight 9 mm spent shells at the scene.

When Guardian Me­dia vis­it­ed the home, no one was there and neigh­bours were re­luc­tant to speak about the in­ci­dent. How­ev­er, one res­i­dent de­scribed the con­trac­tor as "a re­al good guy." Princes Town po­lice are still try­ing to as­cer­tain a mo­tive.

In an­oth­er in­ci­dent, around 5.10 pm on Fri­day, a WASA as­sis­tant op­er­a­tor was stand­ing at Williamsville junc­tion near his white Field­er wag­on when two men armed with firearms robbed him of his cell phone and drove off in his ve­hi­cle.
