The shooters entered in the home of 81-year-old Iciline McFarlane and reportedly made her kneel and shot her dead; unfortunately, their bloody thrust did not fulfil with the two old persons. They hit 10-year-old Christina McFarlane and then went on to kill six-year-old Mishane, and both these kids were in the Spanish Town Primary School.

The father of the victim stated that see how the shooters came and killed his two princes daughters. The grandmother of the girls was affectionately called Miss Icey, and the girls lived with her.

On the other hand, a man was shot dead at his gate, and two women were shot at and injured during a drive-by incident on Fitzgerald Avenue in Whitfield Town in the St Andrew South Police Division on Sunday at around 7 pm.

Inmates said that the shooters shot around 30 rounds and the bystanders ran for protection.

Nicholas Thompson, who was otherwise called ‘Stereo’ or ‘Chops’ lost his life in this firing event.

The women injured in the incident are aged 20 and 33 and were receiving surgery at the Kingston Public Hospital last night.

Reports say that a grey Toyota Axio which had four men in it drove up to the scene and opened fire.

A resident said that when the car approached, all four doors opened, and four men with automatic guns came out of the grey Toyota Axio and started firing.

The resident added that the people got flat on the spot, and some ran for cover. A lady with her baby was shot, and her baby fell.

It is unusual that murders have fallen by 15 per cent in St Andrew South in 2020.
