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

Six persons, including a two-year-old infant, were shot about 6:30 yesterday evening on Bowens Road, off Waltham Park Road, in the St Andrew South Division, one of seven police zones under a state of emergency.<\/p>\n

One woman has since been confirmed dead, another in critical condition, while the infant was rushed to the Bustamante Hospital for Children.<\/p>

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

When the news team visited the area last night, one resident shared concerns that residents flooded the streets immediately after the shooting, hampering the reaction of soldiers who were on foot patrol.<\/p>

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

\u201cWhen the incident happen, the people dem from down the other side of the road come out. So the soldier dem couldn\u2019t get fi move as fast as they wanted, and mi think a that\u2019s why the man dem get weh,\u201d one resident told The Gleaner.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you tell people to stay in, dem a go come out same way because a so ghetto people stay. Dem look out for each other, so when anything happen, dem a go run out to make sure dem loved ones all right.\u201d<\/p>

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

South St Andrew was one of the bloodiest police divisions in Jamaica last year, with murders climbing by 12 per cent to 166.<\/p>\n

The drive-by shooting was strategically orchestrated, a resident theorised.<\/p>

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

\u201cThe soldier dem always a walk round, and dem very present inna the place. It obvious seh the man dem a watch, you know, because as the soldier dem move off, dem attack. The car circle two time, and one man said that he was out there when the car circle back and him see the window wind down and supm push out, and him run off,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

Another resident said that dreams of peace in the community have again been shattered.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook how the place did nice, and thing, and the man dem come and mash it up. Look how wi start the year good, and now the man dem just come and cause this,\u201d the resident said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
