ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — One of the two men confirmed dead after the Friday morning standoff between police and gunmen that saw a baby and child caught in the crosshairs is believed to be the son of a recently retired cop.
“I do believe that one of the young men was the estranged child of a member of the constabulary, a recent retiree from the constabulary,” said Senior Communications Strategist of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, Dennis Brooks.
He added that the deceased were said to be part of a criminal organisation and associated with a high-risk target in St Andrew.
