UPDATE: Prison officer injured in shooting identified as Isha Martin
.jpg)
One Talk show on the Morning Braff live event on Tola Radio VI this morning had claimed that they were told Martin had succumbed to her injuries but our news centre can report that is false.
Ms Martin remains in stable condition at the Dr D Orlando Smith Hospital. At the time, officer Martin was transporting inmate Shakilla Hanley who was in jail for allegedly being the lookout for two separate murders in 2017.
It is our understanding that the inmate did not suffer any injuries.
Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital, as of publication time, remained on lockdown as police continue their investigations. His Majesty's Prison at Balsam Ghut on the main island of Tortola; however, is not on lockdown.

DO NOT BE AT ANY FUNERAL TALKING ABOUT MURDERERS IN A BETTER PLACE!!!!
PREACHERS START PREACHING REPENTANCE AT FUNERALS INSTEAD OF ONLY TRYING TO MAKE THE CONGREGATION FEEL GOOD.
I agree with you 100%. We are taking things for granted in this country, taking things too lightly. I hope that this is a lesson learned here today.
To those who go to church, and leave their kids home , God will judge, that is why some of our society are in trouble the Word isn't heard. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God that is. But at the same time want to show of themselves to be seen as, prophetess, pastors, prayer worriers, evangelist, and some even want to behave like they are Jesus; but their house is not in order, stat at home. That's what Timothy said a leader should be, (one who can lead their home). Bring the young to church let them hear God's Word, to condition their minds against these evil day. Sad times we are leaving in. Both Christians, and unbelievers are in sad times. Christians cold for the real Word, and God will spew you out! Because of their light not shinning by the suppose to be Christians, unbelivers are doom!
There should be some privilege for pettier crimes
lack of enforcement could be the issue our country is face with
United Kingdom needs to enforce border security but the UK mainly concerned with sending our people to HMP

Sure the kids but what about every Caribbean adult that grew up smoking pure home grown, Jamaican & Vincy all natural weed. While the cannabis bill is stalled the smoking population is being lambasted by addictive adulterants. A person can buy weed as an aid to cancer treatment and become addicted to some crap. We allow ourselves to be destroyed as a country.
- kill the guard
- kill the witness
- hijack/ escape with the witness.
TIME TO GO TO THE STREETS.
7 million on a plane. Do you not see what is going on?????
They called him Kim-Jung Fahie but at least he seemed to have half a brain by buying that armored vehicle for the premiership, now the current premier benefits from increased security.
All legislators should be driving in stylish & bullet-secure vehicles. Air port needs its own BVI government air ambulance.
All of those together cost less than 7 million. The premier's vehicle was around 100 thousand. ten vehicles 1 million. twenty stylish armored vehicles 2 million. Unlike the plane... to buy a helicopter I wonder if they can make do with 5 million remainder.
My goodness we need proper security & so much more. What happens when these thugs say they dont like what the politicians are saying? For this to happen close to a police station speaks volumes to our airheaded situation.
This is why the pier park robbers felt they could pop off in the middle of the flipping multi-million dollar investment. Had they shot someone.... We are building sand castles with no protection, no protection for the people, nor the will of the people by protecting the politicians. In comes the crime wave.
Everything is gone.
