    In broad day light like this we are seeing these criminal activties. Usually people wait until night to commit these kinds of acts but this bold face-no face shootout says alot of the society we live in. It means these shooters don’t care who sees them. They want their blood and wants it now

      All over is some bold face shooting. But they label Antigua as the worse Caribbean country and say how they should stay in their country. Any Dominican care to explain this?

      I can’t speak for Antigua but in Dominica its rarely a random shooting where someone just targets a stranger. It is usually lovers quarrel, drug deal gone bad or some type of retaliatory act.
      Dominica is still a very safe place to live and work. Hope that answers your question.

    I hope that the other two people survive. To say the least.

    SMH. It is like the entire islands are possessed by guns and blood. I dont see it getting worse. But it will.

    Because criminals who have committed murder continue to walk the streets, they feel untouchable. They feel as if no one would apprehend them so why even hide to pull the trigger

    Police are investigating, but will the trail go cold like so many others? The families deserve more than a headline. They deserve answers.
