Two men dead after shootings

Two men are dead after separate shootings in the early hours of Thursday.

In the first incident, around midnight, the victim was sitting on a bucket on the side of the street at Dorsette Street, Fox Hill, when several persons in a silver four door Honda vehicle approached.

They fired several shots, hitting him in the face before speeding off. The 29-year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

In the second incident, shortly after 2:00am, police received a report that a 24-year-old man was brought into hospital via private vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound to the abdomen, after an incident at Fowler Street off East Bay Street.

Hospital officials informed police later that the man had succumbed to his injuries.

In other news, police have classified the remains of two people found in Andros last weekend as murder.

Merry Christmas in the Bahamas.

With so many guns on the street they might as well make it legal. Criminals have guns but lawbiders dont leaving us to be lambs to the slaughter

It is a very sad day, this country is too small for all that goes on in it. Looks like we are ending the year the same way it was started.
