Police Take Cover As Illegal Gun Salute Takes Place During Funeral Service
Police personnel and mourners who were in attendance at yesterday’s funeral for alleged gangster, Andre Smellie, were reportedly forced to take cover, as the man’s cronies reportedly fired numerous shots into the air in close proximity to the where the service was being held on Tavern Drive in Papine, St. Andrew.
Smellie, who was allegedly a key member of the Dog Paw gang, was shot and killed last month by the police during an alleged shoot out. Police personnel who were on hand at yesterday’s funeral, called immediately for reinforcements, but by the time they arrived, the shooting had ended, and no one of interest was held.
