Pastor Salmon urged HoA members to look into crime & violence
Pastor Salmon’s plea comes on the heels of his daughter’s vehicle being caught in the line of fire during a shooting incident in Free Bottom on Wednesday, August 21, 2024.
“I would like to take one minute to ask this House to look at the crime and violence around us. Just beside my house yesterday a house was shoot up and my daughter vehicle get shoot up in that. I want to ask us to take a look into that crime and violence that’s going on in this country, it’s very, very serious, very, very serious,” he told the HoA.
According to information from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF), officers responded to a report of shots fired at a home in the Free Bottom area after 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
While no individuals were present when the officers arrived, they recovered spent shells at the scene and proceeded to securing it.
The incident is currently being investigated by detectives.
Meanwhile, in addressing the incident, Acting Commissioner of Police Jacqueline E. Vanterpool stated, "In response to this serious matter, the Police have engaged the Crisis Intervention Team to offer much-needed support to the residents of the home involved and to others in the community. Additionally, we have increased our security measures by maintaining an armed patrol presence in the area to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents."
This was the second shooting incident reported in two days. During the early hours of Tuesday morning, August 20, 2024, reports of shots fired in Purcell Estate were made. Investigations into that incident is also ongoing.

under Frazer & Malone we did not had such ridiculousness.
these days u can be out with your love ones and get caught in crossfire
You have lived here in the BVI in excess of 1 decade, maybe 2. How come only since a bullet or more structured your daughter vehicle that you have decided to speak out against the ongoing problem? As a Pastor it is your duty to pray against the ongoing works of evil in all it's forms, not to confront it only when it suits you.
My advice to you is that you stop trying to big up yourself, instead, let God big you up.
Pray for peace for all people everywhere.
