AN elderly man was granted bail after he was accused of shooting his 62-year-old girlfriend with a shotgun at her home last week.
Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Jeffrey Sherman, 66, with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and two counts of attempted murder.
Bjorn Ferguson represented the accused.
Sherman reportedly argued with Bridgette Ingraham at her residence on Sapodilla Blvd around 10.30pm on August 24. As the argument escalated, he allegedly pulled out a dark grey shotgun and shot Ms Ingraham in both arms.
During this incident, he allegedly tried to kill Stantina Pugh.
Ms Ingraham was successfully treated in hospital for her injuries.
Sherman’s case will be transferred to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment to be served on October 31.
Justice Cheryl Grant Thompson granted him $20k bail yesterday. He is required to sign in at a police station on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. He will be electronically monitored. His curfew will be from 6pm to 6am.
