Rasbert Turner, Star Writer


A licensed firearm holder has been taken into custody by the Portmore police after he allegedly shot and injured a man for cooking 'slowly'.


Police reports are that about 2 p.m. on Ash Wednesday, the suspect went to the Hellshire Beach in St Catherine. It is alleged that he ordered fried fish from a vendor.


After waiting for sometime, it is said he approached the cook and enquired why the long wait. Police said an argument developed between them and the suspect drew his firearm from his waistband.


He then reportedly fired shots hitting the cook in the upper body. It is said people at the popular beach scampered for cover, having heard the explosion. The police were called in and the weapon was seized.


The man has since been arrested on suspicion of shooting with intent and illegal possession of firearm and ammunition. The injured man remains hospitalised, the police said.
