In a little more than 24 hours, there have been two incidents where legal gun owners had to use their weapons, in apparent self-defence, leading to the deaths of three people.

The latest incident took place on August 16, near a doubles vendor's outlet in Cunupia where a prison officer shot and killed a woman during an altercation with some knife-weilding men over a parking spot.

At about 8.25 am, police on partol responded to a report of a shooting at Sauce Doubles on the Southern Main Road and Robert Trace, Cunupia.
