Four persons were shot, one fatally, in a drive-by shooting in Unity Lane in Waterhouse, St Andrew this morning.
The deceased has been identified as windshield wiper Alton Haffeden.
The injured persons are being treated at hospital.
The incident happened about 9 o'clock and the commanding officer for St Andrew South, Senior Superintendent Kirk Ricketts, says the police believe that the shooting was a reprisal for Saturday's stabbing death of Andre Douglas at a football match in the area.
Ricketts also said that the police cannot confirm reports of a child being killed in today's shooting.
More information to come.
