Woman allegedly shot by police in Granville
ST JAMES, Jamaica — The Granville community is again tense following reports that a woman was allegedly shot by the police, a short while ago.
Reports reaching Observer Online are that the woman was shot by the police in the torso after she drove a Toyota Voxy in the direction of the lawmen.
