Gunmen Shoot At Passenger Bus – Three Students Injured
Three students – two girls and a boy – were injured and rushed to hospital on Monday afternoon (April 12), following a brazen gun attack on a public passenger bus which was traveling along Slipe Road in Kingston.
According to reports, the incident occurred at approximately 3 in the afternoon, and appeared to have stemmed from an altercation between men in sections of Half-Way-Tree earlier that day. The gunmen were reportedly waiting on the bus, and as it reached the vicinity of Torrington Bridge, they signalled the bus driver to stop. When the bus driver failed to stop, the men reportedly opened fire at the bus, riddling it with bullets.
The injured students are said to be in stable condition at hospital.
