A prison of­fi­cer re­mains hos­pi­talised in sta­ble con­di­tion af­ter a brazen gun at­tack near Pi­ar­co Plaza on Fri­day night, mo­ments af­ter fin­ish­ing his shift at the Max­i­mum Se­cu­ri­ty Prison.

Govin­dra Bal­go­b­in, 38, was am­bushed and shot twice—once in the leg and once in the arm—by gun­men in a Nis­san Wingroad who opened fire along Or­ange Grove Road. Fol­low­ing the at­tack, two sus­pects were ar­rest­ed af­ter crash­ing their get­away ve­hi­cle, but a third at­tack­er re­mains on the run.
