The gunmen who engaged the police in a deadly shoot-out in the community of Six Miles, which is located along the Sligoville main road in St Catherine, on Friday used a child as a ploy to open fire on cops, Senior Communication Strategist in the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), Senior Superintendent Dennis Brooks, told the media at the scene this afternoon.
It was reported that the men barricaded themselves inside a house during the operation, which left a policeman dead and another critically wounded.
A third policeman was injured in the incident. He was reportedly grazed by a bullet, and his injury is not considered life-threatening.
