Tourists and shoppers reportedly fled and hid in stores after a shooting in Downtown Nassau Friday lunchtime.
Police had opened fire on a fleeing vehicle after the driver reportedly refused to stop on Prince George Wharf and Frederick Street. The driver then hit an officer travelling on his motorbike with his car and attempted to speed off into traffic.
Witnesses say the officer then fired a shot at the car's tyre.
Sources say both the officer and the driver of the car were taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries; and the driver is currently assisting police with their investigation.

As much as I dislike this man, we need Rudy Giuliani! #realtalk
PS the illustrious Hubert A Ingraham met with Giuliani before the election and the PLP criticized him for it! When one needs help, one humbles oneself and cries out for help, isn't that the teachings of the church?

Ok the car refused to stop. Why in the hell did the police open fire in a crowd?!!!? It seems our police need more training in common sense. Radio's outrun cars. They should have set up a pursuit and a road block. Shooting in a crowd is dumb, ricochet can kill a bystander. Bad move by our police force.
