THOMPSON PEN, St. Catherine – A joint police/military operation in Old Road, Thompson Pen, led to the seizure of four pistols, three 9mm rounds of ammunition, and the arrest of one man on Sunday, following a shooting incident the previous night.
According to the Spanish Town Police, at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 5, three individuals — including two women — were at a shop when they were attacked by gunmen on foot. The assailants opened fire, injuring all three victims. They were rushed to hospital, with one man reported to be in critical condition.
