A Marabella woman is nursing gunshot wounds at hospital after someone broke into her home and shot her three times in the wee hours of yesterday morning.
According to reports, Natasha Applewhite, 41 was asleep at her Ramsamooj Street, Marabella home around 2.35 am on Sunday when she was awakened to the sound of glass breaking.
When she went to investigate, Applewhite saw a smashed window. She told police that all she saw of the intruder was a hand with a glove wearing a long-sleeved jersey and armed with a gun, reaching into the house.
Applewhite heard several loud explosions and felt a burning sensation in both of her legs.
She raised an alarm and the gunman fled the scene.
PC Clarence and Task Force officers responded and found seven spent .40 calibre shells at the scene.
Applewhite was shot once in the right lower leg and twice in the left upper leg. She also suffered a fractured right shin.
She is warded at the San Fernando General Hospital.
