St. Kts: Caribbean awash in gun violence

Less than 17 hours after the shooting death of a 17-year-old, a 23-year-old of Upper Monkey Hill sustained a gunshot wound to his left calf.

Reports indicate that at about a few minutes before 11 on Monday evening, shots were heard in the vicinity of Cedric Liburd's residence and Dwayne Bridgewater was shot.

"I was up watching Law & Order, a two hour special, when I heard gunshots. I heard about eight of them and when I went to look outside, I saw about four males standing outside.

"The guys who were standing around did not look like anything happened. The one who got shot did not even look like he was shot," an eyewitness indicated to the SUN.

It never used to be like this.
