A 16-year-old Tacarigua boy is undoubtedly counting his blessings after escaping a shooting attempt on his life on August 5.

The teen told investigators he was walking along Sixth Street, Five Rivers, Arouca, around 1 pm when he saw a man he had a fight with earlier that day come out of a van, point what appeared to be a gun at him and open fire.

The teen managed to evade his attacker's shots and hid in some nearby bushes until the assailant left.
