By BBN Staff: A Placencia woman was detained by police for questioning following a shooting in her neighborhood around 6:30 on Friday morning.

According to police, cops were alerted to reports of a gunshot fired on the north side of the peninsula near the local BWS office. When police responded, cops came across a 32-year-old woman on her verandah who claimed to see the car from which the shot was fired.

Police say she was uncooperative and gave only a poor description of the vehicle as “dark” but told authorities she saw the car driving thru an unnamed street and then heard a loud bang followed by the vehicle reversing and leaving.

Police believe an affair may be the motive for the shooting but stopped short of giving further details. Police also observed a surveillance camera in the area and will review the footage as part of their investigation.
