Two persons have reportedly sustained gunshot wounds in an alleged dispute over a piece of land at Fetteh Kakraba in the Central region.
Others including a police officer at the scene of the shooting managed to flee when the suspect opened fire on them.
Chief of Fetteh Kakraba, Nana Essel Amoakwandoh III confirmed this to Adom News on Saturday.
He said the land owners confronted the claimant on the issue after reporting the matter at Buduburam police station.
However, peeved over their visit, Nana Amoakwandoh III said the suspect reached for his gun from his room and opened fire on them.
He said the two young men who were shot were rushed to the Winneba Trauma Hospital for medical attention.
The suspect, Nana Amoakwandoh III added, fled the scene when the land owners started calling for reinforcement.
The Fetteh Kakraba chief said his people were living in fear after the unfortunate incident.
He said residents were being terrorized by heavily armed land guards who are forcibly taking over family lands.
Nana Amoakwandoh III appealed to the police to patrol in the area to protect lives and properties.
