UPDATED: Police are hunting two men after shots were fired at a 22-year-old man in Pembroke this morning.

Witnesses said three gunshots were heard near Spanish Point Boat Club. No one was hurt in the shooting, according to an eyewitness who spoke with The Royal Gazette.

The resident said the intended target ran through her garden seconds after the shots were heard shouting: “Are they gone yet? Are they gone yet?”

She said: “He jumped my wall and ran past. He then turned around and tried to get into my 79-year-old mother’s house. I told him, ‘No you don’t. Get out of here.’ He turned and yelled: ‘Are they gone yet? Are they gone yet?’ before running off.”

The woman said the man, in his mid-20s, lost his jacket in his attempt to flee.

She added that police arrived on the scene within minutes.
