Shots Fired in Hatton, One Suspect in Custody

Police are investigating an incident in Hatton on Sunday evening that ended with a dramatic crash and one suspect in custody.

Reports are that two men arrived at a roadside car wash in a black Toyota BB and opened fire while demanding to know the whereabouts of a man who drives a Toyota Corolla. Panic erupted as the gunmen discharged several rounds before leaving the area.

Their escape, however, was short-lived. Another man reportedly pursued the vehicle along the Sea Road and rammed into it. The impact sent the BB crashing into a fence, causing extensive damage.

Lawmen later took one of the occupants into custody. He is said to be cooperating with investigators as police work to track down the second suspect.

      To combat the threat of these criminals, equip the right order of people with firearms so that criminals can be out numbered – fight fire with fire!!!!

      Antigua is too small for this increase in crime activities. These young men fathers need to sit them down and talk to them. They’re not too old for their fathers talk. God is our Heavenly Father and He speaks to us through his Word daily, and also sent people to talk to us. Don’t care how old you are, your earth parents (fathers) have the rights to speak into your life and to steer you on the right path. Yes, we also have the right to make our own life choices—to do good or bad!
