Five Islands Man shot at West Bus Station (photo by Ricardo Kulow)
A man from Five Islands is currently nursing gunshot wounds following a shooting incident at the West Bus Station last night. He is 32 years old and his injuries are not said to be life threatening.
As gun related violence has been on the rise in Antigua and Barbuda, the government, in collaboration with the local law enforcement, have implemented several initiatives in an attempt to rid the streets of illegal firearms.
The sentence for gun related violence has increased and police have confiscated a number of illegal guns so far to date.
Why am I not even surprised at this news this morning. Im not saying something bad cannot happen to people at their homes. But the majority of these shootings happen while people outside. Stay your backside inside your home. You know people be wilding out there papi
“his injuries are not said to be life threatening” huhhh what sort of English is that?
Thank God his injuries are not life threatening
This is deeply disturbing news. To hear of a shooting at a public, busy place like the West Bus Station is incredibly alarming and a stark reminder of the violence plaguing our communities. My thoughts are with the victim.
