Two workers of a bakery at Bomso, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti region are said to be in critical condition at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital after they were shot, Thursday night, in a confrontation with a local gang.
According to the workers, one of their colleagues had gotten into a confrontation with a member of the gang, sparking the bloody retaliation.
The gang chased the defenceless workers in darkness and shot two workers and a customer at close range.
Margaret was shot in the upper chest, and Kwame in the thigh.
One of the victims in an account to the KNUST police said, it was a near-death experience.
“I was on phone and I heard the thing [gunshot] so we were thinking that may it’s a knock-out[fire crackers]. And then the second one came; then people started running-they were running for their life. Then when the third one came, it was just infront of them. Then one guy broke into our room and gave a warning shot.”
