Ja: Shooting of a schoolboy sparks explosion in Denham Town

Gunmen allegedly started it; in returning fire, police shot the schoolboy, which shooting kicked off a riot.

A man was fatally shot yesterday, while a Jamaica Defence Force private and a 14 year-old schoolboy were shot and injured during a disturbance in Denham Town, a volatile community in West Kingston.

An angry mob, led by students of the Denham Town High School, also stoned the police station in the area, and burnt a police car and a Jamaica Defence Force jeep. Five other vehicles were also damaged during the incident.
