Two women among four shot and injured at bar on Valentine’s Day
WESTMORELAND, Jamaica – Four persons were shot and injured at a popular bar on Beckford Street, Savanna-La-mar Westmoreland on Valentine’s Day.
According to the police’s Corporate Communications Unit, the incident happened shortly after 10:00 pm. Observer Online understands that two of the victims are women who reside in Savanna-La-mar.
Wednesday night’s shooting is the second of its kind. Three weeks ago, five patrons at a party were shot and injured metres away from the popular bar.
Reports from the police are that the victims were patrons at a party when a motorcycle with two men aboard drove up from the direction of Beckford Street and stopped. The men then proceeded to brandish firearms and open fire at the crowd.
