Two suspected armed robbers have reportedly shot a police officer who led a team to stop their robbery operation at Lapaz near Las Palmas, popular restaurant in Accra.
Reports indicated that the robbers who were on motorbikes shot the unidentified police officer three times.
An eyewitness said the incident was like an “action movie”.
He noted that the masked men, armed with locally manufactured guns opened fire which brought activities at the very busy area to a halt.
“The police who was part of the team chasing the robbers went closer to them and they shot him three times. He dropped on the floor but I cannot tell if he is dead” he added.
The armed robbers he indicated abandoned their motorbikes and snatched an ash Hyundai Sonata in the full glare of the public and headed towards Kasoa in the Central region.
Meanwhile, the police man who sustained gunshot wounds was rushed to the hospital by some residents in the area.

its time we drive this Nigeria out of this country because they are painting our country so black and now having all its take to even get Gnana id cards and passport
YOU SEE THIS ATROCITIES AND WHEN PEOPLE CATCH THEM AND BURN THEM ALIVE YOU WILL BE SITTING IN YOUR RADIO STATION TALKING ***barred word***. MOB ACTION WILL NEVER STOP IN GHANA BECAUSE OF ALL THIS THINGS
Ghanaian youths anytime you see a Nigerian just say theif theif,so they can be lynched innocent .
THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO INVEST MORE MONEY INTO THE POLICE FORCE. GET THEM ADEQUATE TRANSPORTATION, BULLET PROOF VEST, AND APPROPRIATE AMMUNITION. IT'S SCARY TO KNOW THAT THIS HAPPENED IN BROAD DAY LIGHT AT SUCH A BUSY PLACE. INNOCENT BYSTANDERS COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF SHOOTING BETWEEN THE POLICE AND ARMED ROBBERS HAD ENSUED. THIS IS SO WRONG AND TERRIBLY SAD THAT WE LOSE AN OFFICER WHOSE DUTY IS TO PROTECT AND WAS DOING JUST THAT. HE DIED WHILE PROTECTING THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THAT HE NEEDS TO RECOGNIZED FOR DYING IN THE LINE OF DUTY. GHANA IS NO LONGER THE SAFE COUNTRY THAT I KNEW AND GREW UP IN. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE AND FAST. OUR LEADERS MUST MAKE CHANGES THAT WILL RESTRICT THE USE OF MOTOR BIKES AND THE LEVEL OF FREEDOM AND PERKS THAT FORERIGNERS HAVE OVER THE GHANAIAN PEOPLE. YES, SOME GHANAIANS ARE CRIMINALS TOO, BUT IT IS CERTAIN THAT MOST OF THESE CRIMES ARE COMMITTED BY FOREIGNERS FROM OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES. WE ARE LOSING IT IF WE SIT BACK AND WATCH. WE CAN'T LIVE THIS WAY...IT IS NOT RIGHT. MY HEART IS BROKEN AND I AM TRULY SADDENED BY THIS EVENT AS IT AFFECTS ALL OF US IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. GOD HELP GHANA AND ITS PEOPLE.
Grow up ans stop politicising everything, as a good citizen think wise. What has delta force got to do with this.
They can't do anything because they've seen what happened to the delta force. This government is a big SHAME
Eeeeei NPP Delta force again!!!
My surprise is how this event occurred in a broad day light and the army of people around chose to become spectators instead of calling the police for rapid response. Brave and wise citizens, like that taxi driver who hit the two KOALA armed robbers and caused their arrest, will be rewarded. In this case, what was the reward of those who took interest in merely taking photos for whatsapp? Nothing. The first class of people that Jehovah God will destroy are the cowards (Rev 21:8) like the spectators at ABEKA LAPAZ yesterday
Mr Bond your are ***barred word***. and these guys they are Nigerians. this is what we get when we allow those ***barred word*** to waltz in and out of here as they please.
Capital punishment is needed to fix Ghana otherwise we will continue to suffer.
