A Corozal Town store owner was reportedly shot at while fleeing his storefront on 4th Avenue in the midst of a robbery just before midday on Sunday. He reported to police that a masked individual had walked into his business and began behaving suspiciously, and that's when he dashed off, but heard a single shot being fired at him as he ran. ACP Hilberto Romero told us more today.
