Police launch probe into shooting in East End

The East End Police Station on Tortola.

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.

    When NDP was in power the public was rather quick in Blaming the Youth Minister and DR Smith for the crimes committed during their sitting government

    Who is to be blamed now ? Who has been the Premier and Education Minister for the past three and a half years ?
    NDP
    Who is the Premier now and the Education Minister ?
    NDP?
    Isn’t it the same snake but different set of fangs ?

    Is it NDP?
    As a nation we need to seek wisdom when we choose our leaders ?
    Where is the past leader for the VIP ? Awaiting trial !!
    Be wise my people think about our territory”s future !! !! What is he awaiting trial for ?
    Look what is going on !! Is there a connection ? As a nation are we so blinded
    My sympathy goes out to the family of the victim
    Let us fast and pray for the youths of our nation !
    Parents train up
    Your youths from small don’t let your boy children feel free to walk in and out of your house before the turn 18’
    Fathers do not wait until
    Your children are teenagers to set boundaries and balances for the 0k

    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.

    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.

  17. So sad says:

    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.

  18. @ Ñot nice says:

    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 ?
