A teenager who got shot in the back while drunk at a party has detailed his hazy memories of the incident for a jury.

Shawn Williams, 18, had been drinking Hennessy cognac as well as beer before being attacked at the Royal Artillery Association club in St. George's early on Easter Sunday.

He told the trial of two men accused over the incident that he remembers being hit by the bullet but little else.

According to prosecutors, the gun was brought into the club by the victim's friend, 19-year-old Khyri Smith-Williams from Sandys.

According to another witness, Ronnie Furbert, Smith-Williams revealed he had it with him after expressing concern that the Parkside crew may be present.

Mr. Furbert described last week how a scuffle broke out involving Smith-Williams and a group of men from St. George's who tried to disarm him.

He said one of the St. George's group, Dwayne Signor, 29, grabbed the gun and fired it at Mr. Williams who was fighting a man named Jason Barnett.

Giving evidence for the prosecution yesterday in the trial of Signor and Smith-Williams, Mr. Williams explained he and Smith-Williams went together to a reggae party at the club that night.

He said he danced and got drunk, but later heard a commotion in the bar and saw "a bunch of guys all over Khyri".

Mr. Williams could not say how many men there were, but described them grabbing his friend's pockets as he tried to get away from them.

He then described the group blocking Smith-Williams' way, and said he thought he saw one of them take something from his friend's pocket, so he chased that man.

When it appeared the man did not have anything, Mr. Williams said he turned to walk off but then got hit in the head by someone else.

"I turned round to see who it was and then I was shot," he told the jury, indicating where the bullet entered the left side of his lower back and exited on the right.

"Everything else is a blur," he added. "I remember waking up in hospital."

The bullet grazed his left kidney and ruptured his colon. Mr. Williams needed surgery and spent eight days in hospital, although a medical report shared with the jury indicated he should suffer no permanent effects.

He was unable to provide the names of anyone involved in the incident except for a relative of his, Jahdal Denbrook, who he said was involved in the attack on Smith-Williams.

Answering questions from defence lawyer Jerome Lynch QC, who represents Smith-Williams, Mr. Williams said he and his friend went through security on the way into the club. They were scanned with a metal-detector wand and patted down.

He described his friend as wearing tight jeans, and when asked by Mr. Lynch if it was possible he could have had a firearm in his pocket, Mr. Williams replied: "I highly doubt it."

Signor is accused of attempting to murder Mr. Williams, shooting at him with a loaded firearm with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and possessing a firearm and a 9 mm bullet. Smith-Williams is accused of carrying a firearm and going armed in public so as to cause terror.

They deny the charges and the case continues.
