Police have still not been able to question William Douglas Campbell, the 66-year-old American who was found with a gunshot wound just after noon yesterday near his residence in the Tres Cocos area north of San Pedro Town. He remains in critical condition at the KHMH. He was shot the left side of the chest which punctured his lung and injured his heart. While doctors expect Campbell to live, his caretaker 39-year-old Honduran national Danilo Villatoro was found dead outside the Tres Cocos home; he had been shot to the left temple.
Both men were shot with the same gun, a 38 revolver, which police found next to Campbell. The gun was licensed to Campbell, but it had expired last year, so now it is considered unlicensed firearm. So far, police know that both men were considered friends, both had woman problems and both had been drinking heavily. Because both were shot with the same firearm, one theory is that it was a murder and then attempted suicide.
Preliminary tests also show that Campbell was shot from close range. But at this point, that is just one police theory, and until they get to question Campbell, more cannot be known.
