TRELLIS BAY, Beef Island, VI- Several persons were made to run for cover as shots were fired in the air outside a popular bar at Trellis Bay, Beef Island in the early morning hours of March 26, 2016.
According to reports reaching our newsroom, it was shortly after 3AM during a heated argument between “a couple” when the man threatened to shoot the female he was with.
The woman reportedly told him “you can’t shoot me, you don’t have any gun,” at which stage the man allegedly whipped out a gun and fired off two shots in the air.
No one was reportedly hurt but it sent persons running for cover and the incident also brought the activity at the bar to an abrupt end.
There were reportedly several plain clothes police officers at the event but it is not clear if anyone was arrested.
Police Information Officer Diane Drayton had not responded to our queries on the matter up to post time.
