St Richards Primary School on Red Hills Road in St Andrew has asked parents to collect their children ahead of the usual dismissal time following a fiery protest near the school this morning.

The protest was reportedly sparked by the shooting death of a man known only by his alias “Mad Dog” along Karl Samuda Avenue earlier today.

Angry residents reportedly lit a fire along sections of Red Hills Road, prompting a heightened police presence in the area.
