Police say restriction on firearms at entertainment venues will soon be implemented, following St. Andrew shooting

The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) says a restriction on firearms at entertainment venues will soon be implemented as part of ongoing efforts to enhance public safety.

This follows a shooting incident at an event at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre in St. Andrew, last evening.

Three men were shot and wounded among them a popular vlogger, and an American citizen.

Another man is said to be in critical condition at hospital.

A music producer and the vlogger have been taken into police custody.

Reports are that at about 9:30 P.M. a physical altercation developed between patrons at the event.

It is further reported that the fracas escalated, and gunshots were traded resulting in 3 men being wounded.

2 guns were seized following the incident.

The JCF said it is arranging a series of meetings with party and event promoters to reinforce security and safety requirements as part of the issuing of permits.
