Can’t say that I saw anyone swaggering out !
Wow; I didn’t even hear about this from anyone. I just happened upon it… has it really gotten that bad?
lock his a$$ up till he talks!
tired of this p#$$yfooting by the Police.
Lock him up? How do you know he has not said anything to the police, because nowhere in this does it say that he has not. He obviously has been talking if they have locations and time frames. The police cannot only go by what he says, they also need more evidence. Neither can they tell you what evidence they already have because it is still an INVESTIGATION.
I was looking at the comments posted when the story was first posted, some of you people are so ignorant and think that just because he turned up to the hospital before the police were informed he is suspicious. But I do not understand how you gather that because I know full well if I was shot the first place I would go to is the hospital! What was he was suppose to do call the police on the way while his life was in danger enroute to King Edward?
There’s a difference between telling the police where & when the incident happened then telling them why. If the bullet was really intended for this person then they must have an idea why they were targeted & by who. If they had given this information the police wouldn’t have to look for leads.
What the hell is does a “suspicious looking vehicle” look like
Its the one with the gun barrel sticking out from behind tinted windows
I like that lol
somebody had somethin’ maybe..? and somebody came to take it maybe..? idk..do U know..?? oh well.
Well we all know what really happened, but the police never listen to the public anyway, so its now up to them to connect the dots.
He should talk before its to late. next time he might not get a chance to but if he dont care why should the police
Word on the street is he mad a mistake a shot himself sad but true cause wasn’t any firearm incident around that time in Hamilton parish iam just sayin!!!
Wouldn’t be the first time something like that happened. If this is true maybe he’s part of parkside & following by his dumba$$ leaders example. If your going to be an idiot & carry around a illegal firearm put the safety on dummies. We don’t need anyone getting shot from a stray when your bikes go over bumps.
Thi guy shot himself! Streets know it
Shot himself? Oh, that is rich!!!!
If he shot himself as claimed in some of these comments , why isn’t he in custody for handling an illegal firearm? Strange how no body seems to have heard any shots in the area where the incident occurred… hmmm more to this than meets the eye!
I still wonder why the govt. spent money on those half a$$ed CCTV cameras. They’re on almost every pole but when an incident as such happens, all of a sudden the cameras don’t work. And I’m sorry police, but most times when there’s talk on the streets, there’s some truth to it, if not all. Maybe the victim, if that, needs to be tested for gun residue to rectify if he indeed used a firearm or not. Things are bad when people start shooting themselves. Smh
the cctv is a JOKE the police dont even run them!!!! my bike got stolen on reid st in front of three cameras middle of the afternoon in front of coconut rock and i got the excuse noone watches or records info from those cameras from the police. such a waste of taxpayers money.
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE ALL THIS SHOOTINGS OVER NO WEED ON THE ISLAND, LEGALIZE AND STOP THIS SENSELESS CRIME PEOPLE, WEED ATM COST MORE THAN COKE!!!!! END THE DROUGHT TO END THE VIOLENCE!!!!
you aint never lied!!!!
