Deadly shooting hits Caribbean islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Four people were killed and four wounded near the capital of Kingstown on the islands, known as a tourism destination.
Police in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are searching for suspects after four people were shot dead and four others wounded near the capital, Kingstown, in an apparent act of gang violence in the Caribbean nation.
Police responded to reports of gunfire in the Green Hill community in Central Kingstown on Friday night, Acting Commissioner of Police Trevor Bailey said at a news conference on Saturday.
“Two bodies were met lying on the public road,” Bailey said. “The body of a female was discovered in a vehicle that was parked on the public road, and on an adjacent piece of land another body was discovered.”
“Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make any arrests in regards to last night’s shooting,” Assistant Commissioner of Police Brenton Smith told reporters. “And as soon as the intelligence and investigation is completed, you will know the motives.”
