Po­lice in Bar­ba­dos say three men have died fol­low­ing a shoot­ing at a beach bar in Low­er Carl­ton, St James, west of Bridgetown, on Sun­day night.

Of­fi­cials from the Bar­ba­dos Po­lice Ser­vice (BPS) con­firmed they had re­ceived re­ports of gun­shots in the area, where a group of peo­ple had gath­ered on the beach. They al­so said the in­ves­ti­ga­tions have so far re­vealed that three men ex­it­ed a sil­ver ve­hi­cle and opened fire, in­jur­ing four males.

One of the vic­tims died at the scene, while three oth­ers were trans­port­ed by pri­vate ve­hi­cles to a med­ical fa­cil­i­ty. Two of those vic­tims lat­er suc­cumbed to their in­juries.
