THE off-duty prison officer who shot dead a gunman involved in the shooting of medical doctor and surgeon Dorothy Williams-Chandler seconds earlier on Saturday is being praised as a hero.

Dr Williams-Chandler, who was ambushed by gunmen along Daniel Drive, Champs Fleurs, just after midnight, remained in critical condition last night after undergoing emergency surgery at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in Mt Hope.

She was being treated in the intensive care unit.
