    these washy washy reports coming from the police with half bake stories. Not even a proper location. Was it at a commercial site, a residential section, any suspects? Come on man. Where is the scene. At least we know that no one sat and waited for the police.

    By the way, on another note, what is happening with the stop and searches. You can drive through Road Town, and other parts of Tortola from one end to the next and not see a police when the crazy thing is we have so many new recruits every year. What is up with this Mr.. Governor and Mr. Commissioner of Police

    Shots from 2 different guns...sounded like a rival shooting between 2 persons.

    Clearly it was shots from two different guns, an automatic riffle and a shot gun.

    No where is safe in Tortola!
