Shooting in Portsmouth

Unconfirmed reports, from sources close to DNO, indicate that Tyson ‘Boyee’ Thomas of Portsmouth was the victim of a shooting last night, at around midnight.

The shooting took place near the Portsmouth Roman Catholic Church, in the vicinity of the home of the victim’s mother.

Thomas, who was hit mostly in his extremities, was taken to the Portsmouth Hospital and subsequently to the Princess Margaret Hospital, where he remains, nursing his wounds.

Those within ear-shot report having heard seven shots fired.

Attempts at a statement from the police have so far proven unsuccessful, but DNO will bring you updates, as this story unfolds.

      You stupid nuh, why you think it making the news – it is out of the ordinary. So many people die and get shot in Jamaica and the big countries (US UK) that it does never make the news because it happens all the time people dont get suprised!

      i’m sure whereever you from, the crime rate is much higher..there’s no place on this earth without crimes!! but we as dominicans are proud that we’re not like the other caribbean islands. so take ur negativity somewhere else..we’ll open our doors to people who are no so “smart”as you!

      we cannot neglect the birth certificate crime…awa… all crimes must be dealt with justice should have no name.. no face… no color…
