Scooter rider allegedly opens fire on vehicle in Horsepath
According to information received, shots were heard in the Horsepath area sometime before 9:45 P.M. today, February 17, 2018.
It is being reported that the shooter rode up on a motor scooter and opened fire on a vehicle.
Witnesses told the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) they were unaware as to which area in Horsepath the shots were fired.
It was reported that no one was injured but an ambulance was called to the scene.
Our newsroom is working on more details.
Only last night, February 16, 2018, a young man was shot while in the area of Horsepath, Tortola, and is now hospitalised.
A week ago, Saturday February 10, 2018, two Virgin Islanders, 24 year old Clevaughn Sweeney and 26 year old Michael Stevens, were shot to death in the area of the Althea Scatliffe Primary School.
The frequency of gun crime continues from last year that saw the most deaths ever by shooting in the Virgin Islands.

I am tired of this sh*t! Give the police guns and send them for training. Have the police driving those same scooters they confiscated to patrol day and night. Have police visible 24/7 so criminals will know they will get caught. Police presence should be seen constantly and not cruising around in cars with windows up and a/c and music going. Enough is enough and we deserve to have them earn their salaries and protect us. These punk criminals are reeking havoc on our island and when caught should have very stiff sentences and not a slap on the wrists. Parents are burying their children at an alarming rate here. GIVE THE POLICE GUNS AND 24 HOUR SURVEILLANCE!!!!!!
Please get these young scooter riding "gangsters" with guns OFF our streets! They are burying us all at a time when this Country needs to be rebuilt. Young men, trade the guns in for some tools and pitch in before it's too late. Please!
More than 3/4 the new hires are expats. Simply buy better imports then
Seem like you still below 6 ft so you can't join
Just saying...
When King Saul was preparing to go into war for the Kingdom of Israel, he sought the help of a witch so that they could summons the wisdom of the prophet samuel.
Obviously, since King Saul was close to the Lord's heart, its does us no good by not using the power of spiritual observers of time. If he did it to help his people, who are we to turn our backs on magic?
Have yall notice in the years when magic wasnt openly admonished by the church, our society flourished? Now we knock it and our society rots away.
Clearly we ought to reconsider our position on it to stop these acts of senseless violence!
We need to learn from past and change our actions and our behaviors
Lord knows if we have another disaster like that no one is going to help us in the wake of all these relief items that they sent that have been wasted or left to spoil
I weep for us
If you all will give the police hints the crime will solve hold the red r@$$ and make him talk
Maybe it's time to give the RVIPF a break so spend some money and hire a private military security firm like Academi(formerly Blackwater) to provide security patrols at night on Tortola. This company provides security in disaster-stricken areas according to their website. Hesse had Halliburton provide refinery security after Hugo and there was no looting or crime within their refinery during the 1989 hurricane season.
What you expect. The CoP listen to intelligence from his r***t hand who only interest is in his own personal vendettas. He ain't publicize that the island had two gangs. Well both gangs gone and only now the island gone wild. The force need internal cleaning before the public will feel comfortable sharing the required information. CoP it's time to clean house and get rid of dead weight and recruit professionals who are fair and balanced. You were dealt a bad hand from the beginning but I applaud you for trying.
