The occupants of the car opened fire, hitting Bernard before escaping, according to the police.
He was taken to hospital by a police team that was in the area, but could not be saved.

The violence has left at least ten people dead, including a man who was shot several times as he sat inside a Vineyard Town doctor’s office with his wife and their infant daughter.
