Res­i­dents said a teenage girl and the God­son of Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley were among the dead. How­ev­er, the names of the vic­tims are yet to be re­vealed.

Police said that around 7.30 officers of the Western Division Task Force were on enquiries at Big Yard Road, Carenage when they confronted a group of men who were standing on the road.

Police said that one of the men had an outstanding warrant.

They stopped their vehicle, got out and attempted to arrest the man.

While doing so, another man in the group withdrew a 9 mm pistol and fired at the police striking PC Peltier in the chest. As he was thrown back by the force of the gunshot his colleagues drew their weapons and returned fired at the assailant, who continued shooting at them.

Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley took to Face­book yes­ter­day to ex­press his grief over the bru­tal killing of el­der­ly To­ba­go cou­ple John ‘Jok­er’ Mills, 70 and his com­mon-law wife Eu­lyn John, 61.

Post­ing a pho­to­graph with the cou­ple tak­en in 2018 at an event their Al­ma Mater Bish­op’s High School host­ed, Row­ley de­scribed Mills as his “class­mate and bud­dy.” He rem­i­nisced about their child­hood in­ter­ac­tions and ques­tioned the rea­son­ing be­hind the killing.

“John and his wife were bru­tal­ly slain by an in­trud­er in their bed­room on Wednes­day night in To­ba­go. What have we be­come? What are we pro­duc­ing as “the next gen­er­a­tion?” Row­ley asked.
