Breaking News : 16-year-old girl shot at Western Stars
A 16-year-old girl and 38-year-old man were shot by gunmen on a bike who fired into Western Stars Sports Club last night.
Both victims were taken to hospital with abdomen injuries following the incident at western Stars , St. John's Road, Pembroke, shortly before midnight. Their injuries were said not to be life-threatening.
Police were unable to confirm how many shots were fired as the suspects travelled west along the road, apparently shooting randomly into the venue.
It marked the end of a violent Easter holiday for Bermuda, with one man shot dead while flying a kite with his children at Victor Scott primary school on Good Friday; and one shot and another stabbed in a large fight in the Royal Artillery Association club in St. George's on Saturday night.
Widespread rumours of further attacks throughout Sunday turned out to be false, with tensions said to be high on a key day of local football.
Speaking at Dandy Town in the early hours of this morning, Police spokesman Dwayne Caines reflected on the Island's unprecedented level of gun crime.
"Clearly this is a time that none of us have seen before," said Mr. Caines.
"But we have a young, 16-year-old girl in hospital, and a man in hospital, and I must ask anyone who can help us by providing us with information about what happened to come forward. We have to make sure we are in a position where we can know exactly what happened and bring these people to justice."
