A young cop, who is a member of the intelligence arm of the police force with under two years' service, fought for the lives of a group of friends and himself Thursday night, when he single-handedly challenged and killed two gunmen in Portmore, St Catherine, during a robbery attempt.
Allegations are that the rookie, who is believed to be in his early 20s, was standing outside a gate in Cumberland with friends, when they were held up by two gunmen. The police constable was shot in the arm during the drama. "We must commend his bravery, it speaks to the level of his training and confidence," head of the Criminal Investigative Branch (CIB), Assistant Commissioner Ealan Powell, told The Gleaner yesterday.
