Update: Minister of National Security Michael Weeks said, “I want to start by saying this plainly. Another family in Bermuda is grieving today because of gun violence, and there is no way to dress that up. My heart is with the loved ones of the person who lost their life in Pembroke last night.
“This happened days before Christmas, a time when families should be together in peace. Instead, another household has been shattered. We cannot keep accepting this as normal.
“I fully support the Bermuda Police Service as they investigate this incident. I am urging anyone who saw something, heard something, or has home camera footage to come forward. Silence protects violence. Information saves lives.
“We owe it to the victim. We owe it to their family. And we owe it to this country to stop pretending this is just another headline.”
Update: Shadow National Security Minister Robert King, “First and foremost, my condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased. Another life senselessly snuffed away. It makes no sense and we cannot continue to hope that this gun problem that is plaguing our shores will go away. Hopes and prayers are no longer the answer. Bermuda is in crisis.
“December should be a time for joy and peace, not devastation. I call on the Government to work collaboratively with the Opposition to find a viable solution to quell this violence. There have been six too many gun deaths this year.”
