We carried a headline on the front page of our August 30 edition which read, Terrible Tuesday: Two dead, one injured in three separate shootings in St Michael and St James.In instances such as this, the media is often berated for what some see as being sensational. However, by the time this news had made rounds Tuesday night into Wednesday, we were recording two other shootings, this time in Christ Church.According to the Barbados Police Service, the details of Tuesday night’s incidents are as follows:Around 6:25 p.m. 21-year-old Jarad Trismal Jones-Cox was shot and killed while in a car outside his King’s Gap, Eagle Hall, St Michael, home. At 6:30 p.m. at Endeavour, St James, a 25-year-old man was shot about his body by another man while standing outside a house in the area. He was transported to a medical facility by private transport. He was reported to be in stable condition and was receiving surgery. Then at 10:06 p.m. Rommel Trotman, 43, of Redman’s Gap, Westbury Road, St Michael was gunned down near his home.
