A MAN wearing a bail monitor was shot dead as he arrived at his home in the Fox Hill area last night.

The victim, in his mid to late 20s, was arriving at the prop- erty in Carriage Lane, off Foxdale Drive, when police say he was approached by two attackers.

Assistant Commis- sioner of Police Earl Thompson said: “He was approached by two unknown assail- ants who opened fire on him, shooting him multiple times about the body.”

ACP Thompson said the police were working with limited information last night, but had been alerted to the shooting by Shot- Spotter. He said the incident took place at about 10pm, and when officers arrived, they found a man suffering from gunshot wounds.

Emergency medical services were called but pronounced the man to be dead at the scene.

Police said that a grey Nissan vehicle was involved in the incident.

ACP Thompson added that police have “taken a vigorous approach towards the proliferation of fire- arms in this country”.

What approach and people still dying left and right.

What approach is correct? If you're taking guns off the street there should be more gun prosecutions, which you're not hearing. Also, to take guns of the street the police need to be very visible on the street which they are not. They're a joke. The shooting at the courthouse on Nassau Street is a good indication of just how lousy they are. If you can't secure a place that's a symbol of law and order that is right next to a police station, what can you secure and what kind of job can you be doing if this can happen so easily?

Yeah, but if I am not mistaken,this is the student whom provided a knife to his friend that used it to STAB another student to death on Prince Charles Drive after school. So. A knife was used in the student's death , at the time, not a gun. We need to parent children . If children are parented, we may see less children resorting to knife , gun , car , fists violence.
