SHOT DEAD AT BABY SHOWER • One man killed and four boys hurt as gunmen open fire • Third shooting of weekend takes year’s toll to 89 By KHRISNA RUSSELL Tribune Chief Reporter krussell@tribunemedia.net A JOYOUS occasion quickly turned into mayhem when two men “indiscriminately” opened fire on people gathered for a baby shower, killing one man and injuring four boys. The incident, at Stack Avenue, Nassau Village, was the third shooting since Saturday and the second to end with a fatality - and people at the scene were screaming and crying after the gunshots. The incidents took the country’s murder count to 89 for the year, according to The Tribune’s count. The first incident
happened in the early hours of Saturday where a man was fatally shot after getting into an argument with another man at the Charms night club at Centreville. While police did not identify the victim in that murder, relatives confirmed to this newspaper that he was George Seymour Jr. Police believe he was in his early 20s. The assailant made his escape in a pink coloured Nissan March, with the license plate number AU6488. However, last night police press liaison officer Superintendent Chrislyn Skippings said a man was in custody SEE PAGE TWO

INGRAHAM: PLP AVOIDS TOUGH DECISIONS
By KHRISNA RUSSELL Tribune Chief Reporter krussell@tribunemedia.net
FORMER Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham has described the Davis administration as being reluctant to make decisions on controversial issues since being elected, adding that “not long from now” the government will be held accountable for its actions or perceived inaction. As Mr Ingraham gave his view on the Progressive Liberal Party government
FORMER Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham. Photo: Austin Fernander post the September 2021 vote, he said the only major decision made by the administration has been the reduction of value
added tax to 10 percent from 12 percent. While admitting that generally the government was at this point receiving good reviews, Mr Ingraham said this was “on the surface” and could change at any time. “The PLP won the election. There was a low poll 65 percent or thereabouts of the population that voted. They won convincingly,” Mr Ingraham said on Friday. SEE PAGE THREE
