Michael Dunkley has expressed his “shock and concern” in the wake of yesterday’s shootings outside Somerset Cricket Club.

Four men sustained gunshot wounds after a lone man opened fire at a group of men outside the club at about 6.55pm.

The victims were all taken to hospital, although their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

“While most Bermudians were observing this Remembrance Day, the holiday was denigrated by the reckless and callous actions of a few,” Mr Dunkley, the Premier and Minister for National Security, said.

“These latest shootings remind us that this issue of gang violence continues to demand our undivided attention as leaders, citizens and as a community who want the best for our young people.

“As the police devote all necessary resources to the investigation of these crimes, I renew the call for anyone with information to make contact with the Police directly or via the anonymous CrimeStoppers hotline. If you know something, say something.”

Police are investigating a possible link between the shooting outside Somerset CC and an earlier incident outside the National Sports Centre where a firearm was discharged. No one was injured in the earlier incident.

Witnesses or anyone with any information should contact the main Police number at 295-0011, or the independent and confidential Crime Stoppers hotline on 800-8477.
