SHOT INSIDE HOME

But the gunmen cared less. One of the bullets grazed Roland’s tummy. Luckily, it did not harm the baby or complicate the pregnancy in any way. She has to visit the hospital daily for dressing,

to avoid any infection. Her mother remains hospitalised, however. She has received surgery twice, to remove bullets that were lodged. The family is terrified and perplexed as to why gunmen would target them. “We don’t gang bang and we don’t sell drugs or anything. I just want to know why us. I don’t know my brother as a gang banger. My bother lives by West and George Streets. I know “Shiney” and the others as our cousins. But I don’t know if it’s because of that they came after us.
