PLUMPY BOSS MOM PLEADS FOR HELP

Trinidadian dancehall artiste Mascach Emmanuel, known as Plumpy Boss is in critical condition at a Saint Maarten hospital after he and four other people were shot after leaving an event at which he had performed last Saturday night.

His mother told a radio talk show in St Maarten that her son's life is in danger if they don't ensure he is taken to France or flown backed to Trinidad for critical surgery with a bullet lodged in his brain.

Mark Bassant has the details.
