A shooting incident in Grand Riviere, Gros Islet on Wednesday night has left one male individual nursing a gunshot wound and another behind bars, according to law enforcement sources.
The victim sustained a gunshot wound to the leg. The wound is not considered life-threatening, according to sources.

The incident occurred around 9 p.m.
