St Catherine, Jamaica — The Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) has launched a probe into a shooting incident at the Ewarton Police Station on Thursday night, which left a man and a woman injured.
Reports indicate that around 7:57 p.m., a police officer was collecting a statement from an individual when a man, reportedly suffering from mental illness, entered the station armed with a machete.
The man allegedly attacked the officer, who responded by firing a single shot to defend himself. The bullet struck both the attacker and a woman who was in the reception area at the time.
