A 32-year-old man from Five Islands is recovering after being shot at the West Bus Station on Saturday night. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Amid a surge in gun-related violence across Antigua and Barbuda, authorities have stepped up efforts to curb the spread of illegal firearms. The government, working closely with law enforcement, has launched several initiatives aimed at getting weapons off the streets.
Penalties for gun-related offences have been toughened, and police have already seized multiple illegal firearms this year.

This is Sunday morning, so which Sunday night did this occur?
Probably it was last week Sunday
Why am I not even surprised at this news this morning. Im not saying something bad cannot happen to people at their homes. But the majority of these shootings happen while people outside. Stay your backside inside your home. You know people be wilding out there papi
Joan eyes still close cuz a Saturday I see don’t no how u see Sunday
Like some people can’t read. The article said the shooting took place Saturday night not Sunday. Saturday night was last night
@Joan, like your BT still blinking from the rum yesterday till you get blind too.
You can’t see it seh SATURDAY NIGHT.
Yes you have seized a number of firearms, but you’re still not getting to the root point of how these firearms are getting here and then unto our streets.
Where are these young teens getting firearms? You’ve held a number of them up, weren’t you skillful enough to get a little info, plus our PM met with these so called gangs a few times, agreed to provide work and schooling great! But sadly one of the same teen he spoke and met with got gun down recently, I guess he too didn’t get a clue or understanding how these guns entering our streets and ending up in the hands of the same teens he is trying to help.
The shooter is vying to be the next UPP candidate?
“his injuries are not said to be life threatening” huhhh what sort of English is that?
Thank God his injuries are not life threatening
A staged-for-Carnival-event in City Wesr?!?!?! More collateral damage planned. Arbitrary, not provoked attacks like this reek from the stench of that idle, satanic personal chauffeur with ties to the City West Constituency . Mark him!
I hope and pray that Prime Minister Gaston Browne responds to this incident just as quickly as he did to that poor man who lost his life at the drive-thru at KFC.
We need to know NOW what he’s going to do to halt the growth in gun related crimes on this tiny little island.
This dangerous trend is very troubling indeed!
And you can’t portion any blame on the opposition, because this is taking place on your Current watch …

Why I am not surprised that during the carnival that there will be upsurge in violent crime? They need to put 24/7 security at the East and West Bus Station until carnival finished. If would be unfair for any innocent bystander to be hurt by strayed bullets.
