‘Like a cowboy movie’: Pedestrians scamper as bikers fire wildly in downtown Kingston

Pedestrians and vendors on West Queen Street and Princess Street in downtown Kingston had to run for cover when men on motorcycles fired wildly while travelling through the area on Sunday.

Vendors in the area who spoke with Observer Online likened the incident to a cowboy movie with at least one pillion reportedly firing two guns simultaneously.

According to police sources, the bikers were travelling from the Jamaica Labour Party annual conference which took place at the National Arena.

This is a developing story. Observer Online will have more information as it becomes available.
