Law enforcement officials in the region have been asked by the police in Antigua to be on the lookout for a man who shot three people last week Friday on that island, killing two of them.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Antigua police say Calvin \u201cBurga\u201d James is armed and very dangerous and he may have fled the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have placed bulletins in several islands including Dominica, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, and Martinique.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The police have cautioned that anyone who comes in contact with him should not approach him, if or when seen but instead contact the nearest police station.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An appeal has also been made for him to surrender himself at any police station with his attorney or any family member immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, October 5, James, 53, reportedly killed his niece Tahisha Thomas and her sister-in-law Sanchezca Charles, while he shot his nephew Laurence James in the face.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thomas, who died in hospital while in surgery at Mount St. John\u2019s Medical Centre, was shot once as she tried to flee from her gun-toting uncle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While, Charles, who died on the scene, was shot three times at close range, according to eyewitnesses.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Charles is originally from Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Her boyfriend Laurence James underwent successful surgery for the gunshot injury to the right side of his face and remained hospitalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
