TWO Point Fortin cops fired their weapons seven times in total after a suspect began throwing stones and bottles at them on May 29, as they responded to a report of a disturbance at Hollywood Fanny Village, Point Fortin.

According to police, PC Thomas and PC Gopaul, in plain clothes in a marked vehicle, responded around 7.38 am to a report of a 28-year-old homeless man emptying garbage in front of a person's home.

Police said when they arrived they saw the suspect in an abandoned wooden and concrete structure. They called out to him and announced their presence.
