Commissioner of Police Dr Kevin Blake says the child who was shot during a gun battle between members of the security forces and criminals in St Catherine on Friday was seriously injured but remains in stable condition at hospital.
Blake gave the update during a debriefing session with Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness at Norman Manley International Airport on Saturday, following Holness’ return to the island.
Holness had travelled to New York, where he spoke at the American Friends of Jamaica’s 45th anniversary Hummingbird Gala, which honoured Jamaican actress Sheryl Lee Ralph and hotel mogul Adam Stewart.
