Fear of gunmen’s return after girl shot among children

A group of pre-teens and teenagers are traumatised following a near-death experience on Thursday night when they had to scamper from two masked gunmen.

A 12-year-old girl was the most seriously injured of the group of four who were liming in their driveway at Silver Hill, Christ Church.

Although she was strong enough to share details of the incident, her mother was one of the many Barbadians who pleaded with the culprits to stop the violence.

‘Doing foolishness’ “I stay inside as much as possible because of things like this, but it seems that nowhere is safe now because they were basically at home in a safe space, but they were not safe because of boys with big guns doing foolishness. This needs to stop,” one woman said. (TG)
