A 27-year-old man from Gas­par­il­lo was shot and ar­rest­ed fol­low­ing a po­lice-in­volved in­ci­dent in Clax­ton Bay on Wednes­day.

Po­lice said of­fi­cers on mo­bile pa­trol around 11:20 am on Au­gust 20, 2025, re­ceived in­for­ma­tion about an al­leged drug trans­ac­tion in­volv­ing armed sus­pects. When they ar­rived at the lo­ca­tion, three men at­tempt­ed to flee.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, one of the sus­pects drew what ap­peared to be a firearm and point­ed it at of­fi­cers. An of­fi­cer then dis­charged his ser­vice pis­tol, hit­ting the man, who was tak­en to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal for treat­ment.
