Wounded Cop Flown To Merida

Police Constable Kevin Jacobs is receiving medical attention in the city of Merida tonight after being flown out this morning.

Jacobs still has a bullet lodged in his brain, which cannot be moved at this time. Doctors tell us that there is a risk of permanent brain damage. In Merida, Jacobs will receive surgery to the bones in the structure of his face that were damaged when he was shot in the cheek.

As for the group of bandits accused of shooting him, three of the four remain at large while Portillo del Cid who was shot in the stomach by police remains at the Belmopan Hospital in a stable condition. He is reportedly moving around and is expected to be charged for shooting Jacobs and abducting the mayor as soon as he is released.
