Three people are in hospital with gunshot injuries - including a man shot by police - after two incidents in Pinewood Gardens on Friday night.
In the first incident, shortly after 6pm, a man was driving his vehicle accompanied by his teenage son in the area of Avocado Street and Bay Geranium Avenue, when the occupants of a white jeep opened fire on them.
The man's son and a man sitting in a wheelchair on the side of the road were hit.
The occupants of the jeep then sped off and the victims were taken to hospital.
Then, after 11pm, police were on routine patrol on Wild Guava Tree Street when they received information of a male suspect walking in the area with a handgun. A few minutes later, the officers spotted a man in area fitting the description of the suspect. The man then fled from the officers who pursued him into nearby bushes. The suspect pulled a handgun from his waist and pointed it at the officers who then shot him. A nine-millimetre handgun along with seven rounds of ammunition was recovered. The suspect was transported to hospital where he is in stable condition and under heavy police guard.
• Police are also seeking the public’s help in locating a male suspect responsible for sexually assaulting a woman on Saturday morning.
According to reports, around 3.30am, a woman was sitting in her vehicle with a male friend in front of a home on Cowpen Road, when a man armed with a handgun approached and forced her male friend out of the vehicle.
The gunman then forced the woman to drive to an undisclosed bushy area off Carmichael Road, where he sexually assaulted her. Afterwards, the gunman ordered the woman to drive him to another area off Carmichael Road, where he exited the vehicle and fled on foot.

A picture of this time begins to emerge when continuing to read Genesis 6: “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (vs. 5).
Every imagination of the thoughts of men’s hearts was evil continually. How did it get that bad?
Before the Flood, people lived for many centuries. The first man, Adam, lived for 930 years (5:5), which was a decade or two past the standard lifespan of the time.
Try to wrap your mind around living almost an entire millennium. Imagine if a person had 900 years to learn something like playing the violin. He could eventually reach and exceed what is considered a virtuoso level today.
As each person honed new skills, it was not done in a vacuum. They collaborated with others to speed the learning process. Notice: “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them” (6:1).
The original Hebrew word translated “to multiply” means “increase” and “to multiply by the myriad,” according to Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.
In other words, the Earth experienced a massive population explosion. Due to their extended lifespans, the number of people could have grown to between five billion and 17 billion by Noah’s time. Knowledge and technology also rapidly increased in the 1,656 years from Creation to the Flood. Mankind built cities (4:17), had cattle ranches (vs. 20), composed and played music (vs. 21), and discovered metallurgy, including how to make alloys such as brass (vs. 22).
While each man had about 900 years to perfect various crafts, he also had the same amount of time to develop wrong attitudes and habits.
What someone thinks and does becomes part of his character. Just as a person could have become incredibly skilled at metallurgy during that time, he also could have perfected the art of lying, cheating and stealing. Even after just a few hundred years, man would have become incredibly wicked. And, again, there are estimated to have been billions of people like this!
Those alive at the time knew how to work with metals—for both good and bad purposes. This included the development of weapons such as swords and spears. Coupled with a crowded globe, this is what resulted: “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence” (Gen. 6:11).
This is the world that the Creator looked upon and said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repents [grieves] Me that I have made them” (6:7).
Yet there was one person who stood out: “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord” (vs. 8).
Noah lived a completely different way of life from those around him—one that had been known from the day Adam and Eve were created.*

Well said John ........... can we compare the angelic debauchery of the pre-flood world with the blasphemous attempt to re-engineer mankind with this present global LGBT movement?????? ..... Is God saying again "I am sorry that I made them (male and female)"???????? ........ Bahamians better wake up ................... Redemption draweth nigh

Actually the early cave men were a lot more barbaric as were people in the medevil times and the dark ages .For pure savagery Gangis Kahn , Stalin and Hitler out do all .The world is actually becoming less violent .As for homosexuality its all ways been here even in the animal kingdom ..And don,t tell me are murder rate is b/c of the US ,,the US rate is 4 per 100,000 ours is 35 per 100,000 ,,like a war zone ,,Are main problem is heterosexuals making kids every where and not raising them then beating the snot out of them and teaching them violence is conflict resolution ,,but don,t let facts get in the way of "faith "

Comrades I am bothered when the pulpit is used to fill the benches with congregations who will turn on a dime if they find out you are gay different. Are these not the same hateful for gays people, who will walk over the blood of a shooting victim while their voices go silent against the criminal actions of the shooter.
Aren't these the same people who's sins are defined by Jesus, as anything they might never want to do - themselves - at least for others to see and talks about?
I have seen with my own eyes some at this same gay haters at the ATM machines on a Sunday while they're withdrawing cash to go play the damn numbers - before and after morning church services?
Guess what, lots them pulpits were constructed by numbers man's donations?
Seriously, Jesus you does needs give these people a christian makeover. Comrades I am damn sure that before the ATM's blood had been cleaned up, some these same people had walked over it, without a thought how it got there? Gays are not our there shooting ATM customers.
