Gun Salutes Send Primary School Students Scrambling Under Desks
Students of the Tredegar Park Primary school in Spanish Town, St. Catherine, were reportedly sent scrambling under their desks earlier today, after armed thugs fired numerous barrages of gunshots into the air, seemingly as a brazen show of force. The incident reportedly happened just meters from the school.
According to reports, the gun salutes were being done as a show of dominance and force by opposing factions in the community. Several persons have already been killed and injured this year in an on-going gang war in the community, but thankfully no one was injured during this latest incident. Members of the Jamaica Defence Force have reportedly been brought in to assist the police in maintaining law and order in the area.
