Police investigate two shootings that left three people injured

A 19-year-old woman is among three people in hospital after separate shootings in New Providence yesterday.

Police said they were alerted to the first incident on East Street shortly before 2am by an unknown caller. 

According to reports, the 19-year-old woman was leaving a business establishment when occupants of a Japanese-model vehicle fired a single shot in her direction, hitting her in the foot. She was taken to hospital and was last listed in stable condition.

About an hour later, police were alerted to a second shooting in the area of Rosedale Street off Mackey Street through ShotSpotter technology.

Officers found two men, aged 29 and 31, who reported that they were leaving a business when they heard gunfire and realised they had been shot. Both men sustained serious injuries to their lower bodies and were last listed in serious but stable condition.

Investigations are continuing.
