UPDATE: Two women among those injured in Maxfield shooting
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Two women are reportedly among the victims injured in Monday’s shooting along Tewari Crescent on Maxfield Avenue.
According to police reports, the women, who have since been hospitalised, were travelling in a black Honda HRV when an armed man approached the vehicle and opened fire.
In an attempt to escape, the driver reportedly sped onto Spanish Town Road, where the car collided with a Toyota Probox.
The two women were reportedly assisted by police officers who were quick on the scene and transported to the Kingston Public Hospital. One of the women is said to be in critical condition.
It is understood that Monday’s shooting is the latest in a string of attacks in the area, believed to be the result of an ongoing gang feud.
