A FAMILY of seven in Sesame Street, Pinto, Arima awoke to terror and gunshots on Christmas morning when gunmen stormed their modest home, shooting dead a 14-year-old schoolboy and a 23-year-old man, and leaving the teen's eight-year-old brother badly wounded by a stray bullet.
The deadly attack, which occurred shortly before 6 am on Thursday, has left the Pinto community in a state of shock and horror. Pinto residents pointed out to Newsday that mere hours before, on Christmas eve, parang music was heard in the community as people prepared for Christmas Day.
Instead, body bags and spent bullet shells, policemen and undertakers, were what greeted residents in the hours after the shooting rampage.
