2 arrested in relation to shooting outside Bobby’s Supermarket

The Royal Virgin Islands Police (RVIPF) has disclosed that two persons, a male and female, have been into custody in relation to last night’s incident where at least three vehicles and storefront window at Bobby’s Supermarket were damaged.

Police operation conducted this morning, March 21, 2022, resulted in their apprehension. No charges have been laid thus far, a press release from the RVIPF stated.

Police said initial inquiries suggest that, in the incident around 7:00pm, the targets were two individuals seated in one of the vehicles in the parking lot. However, no one was injured in that incident.

Innocent customers could have been shot- CoP Collins

Commissioner of Police Mark Collins noted his concern about the complete disregard to life and property in the early evening incident.

“Any number of innocent customers to this popular supermarket could have been struck and killed, or seriously injured in this reprehensible act. This could have easily been another life lost and another family in grief. No dispute is worth the loss of a life. Never, ever let anyone in your presence justify carrying a firearm. There is no justification. No one wins in the end,” the Commissioner noted.

Police continue their appeal to the public to report the whereabouts of any illegal firearms or any individual in possession of these weapons. Persons with information can contact the Special Investigation Team at 368-9155 or the RVIPF three-digit access number 311.

      cmon man. Black lives matter was about ending unjust police violence against blacks in America where a simple traffic stop may result in being a person being killed by police or shot in the back while reaching for their wallet.

      you should stop confusing that movement with this recent media spun derailing of the idea behind "black lives matter" which justifies a racist perspective of the world. You obviously have a problem with "black lives matter" without understanding it at all. You missed the whole point but some people choose not to understand to continue being hateful.

        You are absolutely correct!! However, why would anyone want to be associated with such a corrupt organization as BLM? What you left out is that the founders of BLM are now being arrested for spending donated money on themselves n not the fight that they PROMISED they were fighting for. All they did was start a big ole ruckus, beat people senseless n cause millions n millions of dollars worth of damage to hard working Americans property. People who have NOTHING to do with police brutality!

    There are need for changes in government..old politician always fighting to get back into power or try to put someone who they can puppet because they had the taste of wealth,so many projects was awarded and give out,how many is completed and being inspected for satisfaction and good standard..gov complex should be a rehabilitation center for crazy people on the island because millions spending on that building and it can't complete..they are spending money on palm trees rather than fixing the admin building or the high school,they are so many ways this government are waistin money..east end is one of the most populated area where so much could be done but it's a shame the district representative doesn't really care how the road is,he could afford to buy new tires and new vehicles but ordinary citizens has to live with it.

          Whether or not he own up to it ,no matter . She is as guilty as if she pulled the trigger.
          Note; She was knowledgeable and fully aware of everything beginning during and after but did not report it to the authorities.
          Hope she get at least 3 consecutive life terms,preferably in a dungeon somewhere.
