The St James Police have imposed a curfew in the Zone of Special Operations (ZOSO) in Norwood following four murders within a day.
The curfew will begin at 7 p.m today and end on Monday at 6 a.m.
Last night, one man was killed and this morning eight people were shot, three fatally on Warrica Drive in the community.
One of the three killed this morning, 26-year-old, Delano Spence, of Bottom Pen is said to be a crony of the gunmen who launched the attack with high-powered weapons.
The other deceased are Damion Minto, 22, and Lenroy Martin, 25, of Warrica Drive in Norwood.
It is reported that Spence was among armed men from Bottom Pen who came up through Waricka Hill and opened gunfire on a group of persons along the roadway.
Spence was hit as he and his cronies fired wildly.
The police have recovered more than 50 spent casings.
A 13-year-old girl who was in her house was among those injured when a gunshot pierced the window to her bedroom and struck her as she prepared for church.
Minto, a funeral director, was pronounced dead at hospital, while Spence, and Martin died on the spot.
