The victim was rushed to the Winneba Trauma and Specialists Hospital where he is responding to treatment.

A Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) footage, captured the action of three young robbers, one of them wielding a pump action gun and shooting indiscriminately.

Nearby residents said they heard gunshots and later saw the victim being transported on a motorbike bleeding profusely.
