Family pray as Allied security guard remains in critical condition

57-year-old Peola Bap­­tiste remains in critical condition at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex where her six children and four grandchildren have been keeping vigil since Tuesday.

Baptiste underwent surgery, her daughter said, and suffered a minor stroke on Tuesday.

Baptiste, a security guard for two decades, was seated in the front passenger seat when gunmen ambushed the vehicle and opened fire on them. She was shot in the head, chest, abdomen and on both arms. Her colleagues Jeffery Andy Peters, 51, and Jerry Winston Stuart, 49, were killed in the attack.
