Gunfire incidents

Four separate incidents of gunfire occurred between 8pm Thursday and 5pm Friday on Grand Cayman.

A woman was shot Friday afternoon just after 4pm in the parking lot of Barnes’ Plaza on Mary Street.

Police said the victim was shot outside of Barnes' bar and was rushed to hospital. Although reports were that she had been shot in the face, her injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

According to police, the victim was known to frequent the bar and had been at the location prior to the shooting.

A 32-year-old man was arrested in connection with that shooting, Royal Cayman Islands Police confirmed Saturday. 

Two men were also hurt in separate shootings in West Bay Thursday night and police said shots were fired on Templeton Street in George Town around 2am Friday. Although no one was hurt in that gunfire, several cars were said to have been damaged.

The two shootings in West Bay were apparently gang related.

Shortly after 8pm Thursday police said a man was on Miss Daisy Lane when he was shot in the shoulder. He was taken to Cayman Islands Hospital where he remained overnight. His condition was not described as life threatening.

In the second West Bay incident a man sustained slight head injuries when he was shot in the Birch Tree Hill Road area of West Bay around 8.15 pm – about 15 minutes after the first incident. .

He was transported to hospital by a friend and was released after treatment.

This is becoming very quite worry-some. I remember back in High School, they were calling "gangs" a group of boys causing trouble. Now it's come back to bit you in the butt.

As long as there are no charges made, they will keep on ruling the roost.

What are we going to do about it?
