A Fidelity security guard allegedly shot and killed himself outside Cleary Park Shopping Centre yesterday, November 29.

According to police spokesperson, Col. Priscilla Naidu, a Fidelity vehicle was parked at the shopping centre around 13:30. The guards were there to fetch money from one of the retailers.

Two of the guards were seated in the front of the vehicle while one was standing outside. The guard standing outside indicated that he wasn’t feeling well and jumped into the back of the vehicle.

“This is when he shot himself. He sustained a bullet wound to the side of his head. His name and age is unknown at this stage,” Naidu said.

An inquest docket has been opened for further investigation.
