A 29-year-old man was in hospital tonight after he was shot in Pembroke.

Police said the man was hit after three shots were fired in a parking lot on Happy Valley Road, between Fort Hamilton and Belvin’s grocery store.

The injured man was rushed to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital in a private car.

The incident happened just after 11pm.

A police spokesman said the man was “undergoing surgery for his injuries, which were not believed to be life-threatening”.

An area of Happy Valley Road was cordoned off by tape and police cars as officers investigated the scene.

Police have appealed for witnesses.
