Police launch probe into shooting in East End
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has launched an investigation into a shooting incident that happened on the eastern end of Tortola on Monday, December 12.
The police said the incident happened in Major Bay during afternoon hours.
Law enforcers did not specify the circumstances of the shooting. The RVIPF also did not say whether anyone was injured or apprehended in connection to the incident.
However, images circulating in the local social media space suggest that a man was shot during the incident. He appeared to be lying unresponsive at the scene of the shooting and is now feared dead.
“Investigations into the incident are active and ongoing therefore no other information is available at this time,” the police said in its brief statement moments ago.
BVI News will provide more information as it becomes available.

Honestly speaking, my heart goes out to the Mother of the deceased. She’s such a sweet, wonderful, humble person.
She lost her younger son a few years back and up to present she doesn’t know if he’s living or dead and now some heartless fool take the life of her older son.
Can u imagine what that Mother is going through? Lord I pray for her and his children that he left behind.
I pray for comfort and strength for them.
All I can say is there’s a lot of Wicked, Heartless people among us but don’t worry, u all time coming too, it’s only a matter of time.
It is sad to see a young man, a father, brother, uncle, cousin and friend lose his life.
We all can resolve our issues with out taking out another human life.
What are we teaching our young children.
We need love in this nation. Pure Love.
I hope Rankin Collins and Pam don’t put these three last murders in there unfinish vedio
Stop trying to blame things on innocent people to cover up the real shooter. You all are the cause of innocent people going behind bars or even loosing their lives.
Why do they have to do it to screw up a major road and a bunch of businesses? Don’t deal in the first place but if you do sort your arguments without involving chaos and disruption for the rest of us.
you got a problem with the truth / I guess we should all pretend it never happened, right ? keep trying to decieve people , you’d time will come ,when one of these holy gunderleroes touch home / hopefully it’s you and not an innocent member of your family ?
