Prime Minister Andrew Holness said the glorification of guns is an issue that needs to be addressed.

The 2 boys and a man were shot dead by an assailant armed with a high powered weapon.

The Prime Minister said while efforts are being made to stem the trafficking of illegal guns, the obsession with firearms must also be stopped.
