She underwent surgery to remove the bullet which was lodged in her leg.Despite their injuries, both Tulsie and his mother are reportedly in a stable condition and may be discharged from the hospital later today.The injured male Tulsie explained that he had no idea who the two gunmen were,Felipe Gutierrez Chile Jersey, and said that the entire incident caught him by surprise.To his knowledge,Paulo Garces Chile Jersey, no one had been tailing him or had been behaving in a suspicious manner,Orbelin Pineda Mexico Jersey, he said.At approximately 22:00 hours on Tuesday, two masked men shot Tulsie and his mother at their Anna Catherina home.The robbery was foiled because Tulsie managed to close the front door of the house, locking the two bandits outside.Finding themselves in this position, the bandits lingered in Tulsie’s yard for a few minutes before making their getaway in a car that was waiting for them. After the bandits left, neighbours rushed Tulsie and his mother to the Leonora Cottage Hospital.Apparently, upon hearing the gunshots, someone contacted the Leonora Police Station but the police ranks reportedly took a considerable length of time to get to the scene.The police later claimed not to have made any further progress in apprehending the would-be bandits. |
