Stratcom is always late with their statements. I read it first on antigua.news
this is soo soo sad. Hopefully he is adequately compensated for his injuries since it happened in the line of duty. Speedy recovery young man
I wish this young man a speedy recovery and I pray continued buoyant spirits when things get rough in the future. It will be hard at times but try to be grateful for life.
That is something else. I heard he is very depressed. Who wouldnt be? From standing to having one leg. Jah know Star
I hope that the state rally around this guy. I heard he was on private duty when this happened but nonethless he is an officer of the state. This is very unfortunate.
I just want to asl once again since stratcom confirms. What happens now?
I made this comment when Antigua.News first break the story, and I will say it again now that stratcom confirms: The respect for police in this country has gone wild. I mean, how can you shoot an officer, heard its and officer and refuse to turn in yourself. Now the man is without a leg. and in conclusion, what will be the police response to this? how will they take this matter? the suspects are still out there armed and dangerous.
Really sad news!
