By Belize Live News Staff: In a disturbing incident early Tuesday morning, the Corozal Town home of Corporal Martin Marin and Inspector Kimara Lopez came under gunfire. The attack occurred around 12:30 a.m. in the Finca Solana area.
Corporal Marin reported hearing four gunshots while preparing for bed shortly after 11:30 p.m. Upon stepping outside, he noted the fading sound of a motorcycle engine heading toward the Family Market area.
