Police slam as totally false a voice note circulating on social media stating that the Besson Street Police Station was under attack and that part of the city were on lock down.

Speaking with Newscenter 5 this morning via telephone, Senor Sup. Terrence Nobbee urged members of the public to check with the TTPS communication department to ensure the information is legitimate in future.

The voice note suggested there were shots being fired, in Laventille, Picadilly, Picton, and Dan Kelly and warned persons to stay out of Port of Spain.

Senior Sup. Nobbee confirmed one man is dead, another wounded following shooting incidents in east Port of Spain yesterday.

The deceased identified as Glen Bousigac.

He died at hospital shortly after he was shot near the drag brothers on Piccadilly Street in Port of Spain last evening.

The wounded man is 27-year-old Kazim Abdul.

He was shot in the abdomen on Piccadilly Street.

It is reported that after he was shot he ran to the Besson Street Police Station.

He was taken to the Port of Spain General Hospital.

Senior Sup. Nobbee said regular patrols would continue in the area.
