A midnight shooting rampage in Harbour Heights, St Andrew, has left three men dead after gunmen dressed in camouflage and balaclava masks sprayed bullets on scores of residents who had gathered for a party in the community, early yesterday morning.
Word at the scene when the Jamaica Observer visited the community at daybreak, was that an unborn child was also dead after the mother, six months pregnant, lunged 10 feet from a two-storey building in order to save her life.
The police, however, reported that only two people were confirmed dead. A news release from the Corporate Communication Unit (CCU) of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) stated that investigators from the Major Investigation Division (MID) were leading an investigation into the incident which it said left two people dead and six nursing gunshot wounds.

The dead men are yet to be identified.more
