Three months af­ter be­ing shot by a gun­man out­side her home, a WPC is back be­hind a drum set, mak­ing mu­sic again.

WPC Quian­na Ma­habir, 30, was shot twice in Oc­to­ber af­ter re­turn­ing to Trinidad with 16 oth­er fe­male mem­bers of the Po­lice Band fol­low­ing a 12-day tour of the Ba­hamas and New Jer­sey. The of­fi­cer has been a drum­mer in the Po­lice Band for the past three years.

Ma­habir, of Ca­roni, along with a fe­male friend, were am­bushed in what was be­lieved to be an at­tempt­ed rob­bery by two armed men. The ban­dits re­port­ed­ly at­tempt­ed to en­ter the ve­hi­cle and opened fire af­ter they were un­suc­cess­ful.

Ma­habir had been list­ed in se­ri­ous con­di­tion at the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex af­ter the shoot­ing but slow­ly re­cov­ered from her in­juries.

On Christ­mas Eve, the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice re­leased a video on its Face­book page of Ma­habir play­ing drums once again.

The TTPS stat­ed about Ma­habir, “You over­came in­cred­i­ble chal­lenges, and we cel­e­brate your re­mark­able re­cov­ery and un­wa­ver­ing re­silience.”

Ma­habir was sur­round­ed by mem­bers of the TTPS’ Vic­tims and Wit­ness Sup­port Unit and oth­er of­fi­cers as they sang: “Glo­ry, glo­ry Lord, you are a mighty God.”
