A confrontation between two police officers in Sangre Grande on Saturday night has engaged the attention of senior officers of the Eastern Division.
One of the officers was shot.
The incident took place at about 11pm on Saturday, at a home along Valley Road.
The two officers, who know each other, were at the home of a 31-year-old woman when they got into an argument.
According to one officer, who is attached to the Gender Based Violence Unit, the other man put a knife to his throat.
Fearful for his life, he pulled out a firearm and discharged one round into the leg of the attacking man. He then fled the scene and notified his colleagues at the Sangre Grande police station.
There, the second told investigators a different story, saying that he never picked up a knife and was shot by the other man because he got upset during the conversation they were having.
Several senior officers, including ASP Joseph, ASP Jankie, Cpl Guy, Cpl Osuna, WPC Berkley, PC Mahabair and others responded.
Investigations are ongoing.
