NASSAU, Bahamas, CMC – A gunman shot and killed a 27-year-old father as he cradled his eight month old child a few yards away from his home.
Police said that the baby escaped injury as well as a six-year-old child, who was nearby.
“This male opened fire on the victim as he held the eight-month-old in his hands, shooting him multiple times. The (baby) was unharmed during the incident.”
The police have not yet released the name of the victim, the 90th murder recorded here so far this yea but said he was well known to them.
“As a country, we have to be able to talk to our males. We have to let them know that we will have conflicts, but we have to find different ways to resolve these conflicts using an edge tool not a firearm. It’s not the answer. It escalates the situation more,” said Skippings.
