For the first time ever the Bermuda Police Service is releasing CCTV footage of a shooting on Bermuda's streets.

This footage was taken outside of C&R Discount store on Court Street Wednesday when a young man fired a handful of shots on the busy Hamilton road.

The brazen attack was done in front of more than a dozen people, in fact at least seven of them can be seen running from the scene.

The young man, who was just yards from others on the street, began firing shots as bikes and a truck tore off.

Despite this, not a single person has stepped forward to tell Police what they saw or what the young man — who ultimately could have killed them — looked like.

Police are appealing for witnesses for this shooting and others that have happened in recent months.

They are hoping this footage may jog someone's memories.

Three people have been shot dead in the last two weeks and 17 people have been shot in total.

To date, there have been a total of 70 recorded incidents involving firearms. Of these reports 27 have been confirmed either by the recovery of bullets (7), recovery of firearms (4), physical injury or damage (16), and arrests with the recovery of firearms (2).
