IN JAMAICA: Shooting of man in 'Angola' leaves residents puzzled

MOMENTS after students at the Charlie Smith High school settled down for classes following their lunch break yesterday, a barrage of gunshots rang out in the community known as 'Angola' in Arnett Gardens, South St Andrew, where the school is located.
Residents said three armed men were seen fleeing soon after and when they checked, they found an unidentified man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and upper body inside a house on Ninth Street.
