Made in JamaicaNovember 2, 2020

Another mass shooting has taken place at a party that was illegally organized. This time the incident occurred in Gordon District, Westmoreland, leaving two persons dead and ten persons hospitalized in critical conditions.

According to the constabulary communications unit, two men had a boiling dispute which resulted in one of the persons leaving the party, and coming back with a gun.

On returning to the party with the gun, the man opened fire fatally killing the man he was involved in an argument with, as well as another.

In the heated moment, ten other persons were badly injured with gunshots and are currently being treated at a hospital.

Senior Superintendent Stephanie Lindsay is advising people to importantly make the police aware of the events.

She stated that criminals are the ones keeping the parties, and they are not following the proper application protocols where keeping events are concerned.

SSP Lindsay made it clear that when disputes happen at the illegal events, it is not just the people involved that are being attacked as the criminals are shooting everyone on sight.

This shocker happened just a few days after 11 people were shot up at a similar party in Braeton, Portmore which left one person dead. The situation now seems to be a trend.

The police are currently investigating the matter with the information available to them.
