The police are reporting that a gang conflict may be behind Sunday night's brutal mass shooting in Commodore in Linstead, St Catherine, which left five people dead, including a four-year-old, and four others nursing gunshot wounds.
According to police reports, around 8:45 p.m., the victims were at a premises commonly referred to as 'Big Yard' playing games when armed men, dressed in police fatigues, entered the compound.
The men reportedly shouted "police!â before opening fire with high-powered weapons, hitting all nine individuals.
Five of the victims were pronounced dead at hospital, while four others were admitted.
