The conditions of the six people, including one female, admitted at hospital, were not ascertained.

After the shooting died down, nine people were discovered shot and injured. They were all taken to a medical facility where three were pronounced dead and six admitted.
Detectives assigned to the St James Police Division are working feverishly to apprehend the group of men responsible for last night’s onslaught, but they are yet to establish a motive for the attack.
