BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – TWO unidentified men were this morning (Oct. 20) engaged in an altercation in Newtown, which resulted in one chasing the other and indiscriminately firing a number of shots at him. Fortunately, no one was injured but two vehicles sustained damage.
On arrival at the scene, SKNVibes met a relatively large contingent of law enforcement officers, including members of the Crime Scene and Criminal Investigation Departments.
This media house learnt that the altercation began at about 10:00 a.m. in Lower Pitcairn Street where the first shot was fired, after which the intended victim ran along that street then into George Street while the gunman continued shooting in his direction.
