Residents at Regent Hill, the Pine, St. Michael are appealing for renewed efforts to stem the smuggling of guns into the country and to get the weapons off the streets.
This follows a shooting there last night. The police tells Starcom Network News a 29-year-old man was walking in the area when he was shot in the left side of his back, his right leg and left arm.
He was transported to hospital by private vehicle. A resident tells Starcom Network News he heard a volley of about 7 or 8 gunshots around 9pm and later learnt a man had been shot. His neighbours also heard the gunfire.
The residents are worried about the gunplay.
