Three men were shot and killed Saturday morning during an alleged confrontation with members of the security forces in Hague Settlement in Trelawny.
The incident reportedly happened about 2:30 a.m. after the men engaged police and soldiers in gunfire.
Superintendent Richard Hylton, head of the Trelawny police, told The Gleaner "it is early in the investigations and their identities have not been confirmed".
A resident of Hague Settlement said the men, who are from the area, had not been there for a while.
The resident did not identify the deceased men.
"They were at a party when soldiers and police visited. Gunshots were heard, but I cannot give much information," the resident said.
More soon.
