Woman Fighting for Her Life After Being Shot in the Neck

Police are investigating a case of attempted murder that occurred on Tuesday night in Belize City. At around eight forty-five p.m., forty-eight-year-old Mary Flowers was exiting the residence of her former partner on Santa Barbara Street when suddenly she heard two loud bangs. Flowers reported feeling a sudden sensation in her neck and started bleeding. After Flowers fell to the ground in pain, Smith rushed to her aid and transported her to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. Police canvassed the area and found no expended shells; however, the neighbouring house was also found with gunshot damage on the side, and one slug was retrieved from that specific area. Police have reviewed surveillance footage and spoken to several people in the area as their investigation continues.
