FISH BAY, Tortola, VI – Police attached to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) are continuing investigations into a shooting incident which occurred in the compound of Paragon Night Club at Fish Bay.

The lawmen were summoned to the scene in the wee hours of Thursday morning, December 26, 2013 following reports of a hail of gunshots allegedly fired by a group of men who at this time remain unknown.

According Police Information Officer, Ms Diane Drayton, a number of spent shells were recovered from the scene but no one was reportedly injured. She also confirmed that no arrests were made up to press time.

      This sort of nonsense whether imposed due to local madness or imposed from afar can only mash down the economy and thus increase the real crime rates in our lil bvi.
