Police constable #515 Joseph Gilharry, was shot in the left shoulder during an anti-drug operation conducted on the Consejo road on Friday last. He was part of a team patrolling the area around 5A.M. when they discovered the marijuana field. While the police were preparing to secure the area, people who resented their presence began to take potshots at them. Gilharry was injured. The Corozal Police returned fire, but withdrew in order to help their fallen colleague. Gilharry was taken to the Corozal hospital and subsequently transferred to the Northern Regional in Orange Walk Town. He remains in a serious but stable condition. The shooters escaped undetected, but the marijuana field was secured and eventually torched.
