A drive-by shooting in Loubiere on Friday night has resulted in one man being admitted to Princess Margaret Hospital with a gunshot wound.
Police Chief, Daniel Carbon, told Dominica News Online that he received information shortly after midnight, that McPherson Jno.Baptise of Loubiere, who had been standing in the vicinity of the public convenience in the village, was shot at from a passing motor vehicle.
Carbon said the information he received indicates that Jno. Baptise received a bullet wound to the hip.
He said police are carrying out investigations into the incident.
DNO will follow this story and bring more information as it becomes available.
That’s scary.
It’s not about Grand Bay, Loubierre or Portsmouth, it’s about Dominica! United we stand devided we fall! You guys are doing just what the system wants you to do. Fight against each other. We can all make a difference if we start working together for the betterment of Dominica. Do we want to be known as proud “Dominicans” or “Dummy Nicans”.
Check all those private yachts and containers coming in. That’s where the guns are coming from. Don’t think that these wonderful tourists are all innocent. Marine Unit check all those little coves late at night. You’ll find them.
Where are the people who used to say GRAND BAY AGAIN!? let me hear them say LOUBIERRE AGAIN!
What a sad state of affairs. Time to bring in stiffer penalties. No excuses. A beautiful islands reputation being ruined by a few T”ts.
Well no Law there is no law no constitution, well what do you expect all them man have to say when they commit a crime just repeat their PM words , we All in it together
What you people think,we die nay?Dishonesty is what that paying in this coutry,Scotia and dem other bank workers stealing our hard cash,crooked Politicians and lawers in that too,so when we trying our thing these punks want to disturbe the scene,fire for the project busters.This is the next LEVEL PEOPLE.
U have to give it to skerrit he is the first pm in Dominican history with so much crime under his watch.
Island way too small yo do drive by shootings.. Watch how fast they gonna catch them dotish.. I fav placing cams around the island to catch them In the act
drive by shootings turns me on. continue shooting while driving baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember when i was going up we had no fans and we would leave our bedroom windows open so the cool fresh breeze could flow in freely ,we could out out in the yard and play games under the moonlight , Go down to Donkey Beach on dates. Now you can’t even stand by the road side, oh go out in your yard with no fear, oh lord. well the Government have to go to Parliament and get new strict laws to protect the people of this country who still want to enjoy it and punish those with no regards for human lives.
antigua and dominica in a competition man..
DA people want to live fast life, want things fast and don’t want to work hard for it. Plain and simple allu just LAZY always complaining for things to be allu way. So much people that DA that willing to work for what they want but some of allu d opposite
If DA have no job and poverty y allu doe go Haiti an live with no problem.
That is real crazy, think of a way forward, laugh problems because at the end u still have to push for better wealth….No u get in a car and shoot!! Someone son, brother, possible father? Man it’s time for the law to move on gun holders village sweep clean style…put the chase for weed away for now and take action to preserve life.
Real important task
Well Its sad that the Bullet knows of no law no constitution and no respect of person rules. i hope the man is ok and will laugh about that in the near future.
Drive by shooting in Dominica? What? I suppose watching too much TV, Internet, Video, hearing and reading about what is transpiring in those other big countries?
Would the perpetrator be a criminal who was deported from another country?
Why would this criminal do such a thing? Would the victim be involved in criminal activities?
Pay attention government, judges/magistrates, prosecutors including DPP and police officers. You are to do your utmost to assist and protect Dominicans.
Something must be done about those wicked people and the guns which found their way to Dominica.
I am reiterating as I have done in the past. Dominica does not have a gun shop. Where did those guns come from and how were they allowed in Dominica? No leniency for those who are caught. Let the punishment fit the crime. May this not be mere words.
the gun come from the police
what do you mean deported from another country -these criminals are homegrown.
Guns are brought in simply because there is a market for them.
I admire your patriotism but I think you need to face facts. There is no accountability people steal murderer sell drugs and they are just let off -so no one really worries about the consequences of there actions.
when I heard that this morning I could not believe it, what is Dominica coming to,and people how are guns getting into the hands of our young men. God have mercy
When you have a country where the cops have resorterd to sell dead criminalsly weaponery ie, sub machine guns to criminals, what message do they thinkl they are sending.
I am reading DA news or NY news? oh well
Man if I had the last say those fellas caught with illegal firearms,I would deal with them so severely that another one would NEVER EVER consider handling an illegal firearm in his life..I am very disturbed at this new trend in Dominica…and if you see we dont take time to arrest this situation NOW we going to put our hands and bawl in time to come!!!!
Don’t start putting cameras around on them posts… keep waiting on the public eye to say something. With all these crimes, drastic measures need to be taken and where the law doesn’t permit certain things, it should be amended once the amendment is for the betterment and protection of our citizens!
totally agree with u
Are you in thd business o noise or serving cold stuff. From yesterday afternoon I have seen nothing fresh on DNO
\
I actually meant. Are you in the business of news or serving cold stuff? I have not seen a news item on DNO since yesterday.
That why we must introduce the death penalty !!
Dominica,well come to the big city life..yall wanna live like the folk in the bigger countrys,copying their life styles, well yall gotta deal with the everyday crime that they live with to..driveby shootings,unsolved murders,robbery and all sorts of imaginable things..
Boss no law, no constitution can touch you if they find you!! Good riddance!
They copycat what other country is doing, guys please don’t be like Brooklyn stop this hostilty and try to live in unity with each other.
we want the hanging mr pm!
Wow, Look at how Loubiere is so beautiful. Look at how Skerit landscaping the place. Listening to people talk I woulda thought things were really bad
Things are at the worst level in Dominica’s History,Poverty is rampant all over the island..
Standards have being kicked out of the windows By Policy Makers, Religious Assembles and the Ruling Regime
So what do we expect…
Dominicans are generally Hypocrites to the Core!
well said
Some youth are too “Americanized.”
Too much prayers and too little done, God helps those who help themselves.
well sa drive by shooting in style now!!!!!!!
Get rid of all the American TV channels and you will see how quickly things get back to normal.!!!
That’s the next level they were talking about.
Lord help my Island driveby shotting now what is wrong with these guys.
wait until the convicts from the united states and uk land.
Its a crime yes and society will always see it like that, but if you all really look close in terms of crime rate we are nothing close to Antigua, St Kitts St Lucia and many more, Dominica is quiet compare to those other Caribbean islands in respect of crime, i know that for a fact, so relatively Dominicans a well behaved people if we have to compare to the other Caribbean islands.
Yes but we are Dominicans we dont have to copy those other Island, If they all jump over a cliff would you do the same? Some of you hust talk, because allyou doh want ALLYOU MOUTH TO STINK
Am I to say,Dominica,the last nature Isles of the Caribbean…Unspoilt-is now being spoiled?..
drive by shootings turns me on. continue shooting while driving baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you is a fool
Why would DNO approve such a comment?
So foolish to sexy girl above i can tell u just home idle , you may be the next one to take a ride in the death car fool
Hmmm let’s pray for our country. And where did you get that photo from DNO?
Oh wow! what a thing. The heart of man is becoming dangerously wicked by the day. This is not a laughable thing. People truly need GOD in there lives, without Him we will see more of these kind of things, no doubt.
OMG my little paradise getting infected by disturbed criminal acts. once upon a time we were clam and delightful, free and careless of where and how we act, speak and enjoy but today the guns are bombarding our streets and clubs. “Drive by shooting” this is a matter to be reckoned with. Actions must be taken and quickly and forcefully too!!!
strapped
\\
destruction of evil
Drugs, no work, layoffs, selfishness on everyone, young people want fast money, parents encouraging them, what do you expect? Wild, Wild, West.
The court is a joke, letting criminals get away with all kinds of crimes. What do you expect? If one can get away with murder, there will be follow fashion. Monkey see, monkey do, copy cats. Where do we go from here.
Last days. Man will be lovers of themselves, rather being lovers of God. Stand fast Dominica, and don’t let the devil win.
a.a you all want to do what lucian doing you all are a bunch off cowards
SMH…..PURE NONSENSE
Wat i hearing there nuh. i my island sweet Dominica have advance type crime? we definitely need the death penalty. dominica road fast man.
There goes my plans for retirement back home down the drains. Drive by shooting for drive by shooting I rather remain where I am. What is DA coming to!!??
Skerrit boy
Dominica i find you come up!!!!
Real sad times. This land need prayers but from genuine people not hypocrites.
Well! Well! Well! It was just a matter of time before something happen on the toilet block. Them man on that block, gambling, selling coke and ganja, teasing police and everybody passing by. I don’t know if them police face turn when they passing there? Or them police afraid of them. The result of the shotting have alot behind it. Do your investigations properly you will learn about the bike and the cars that was mashed up that nite.
Aren’t guns illegal? Where they gettin that?
Thye getting them through back door.
So why nobody ever comments how quiet it has been for the past two months. The minutes something happens rit is like the end of the world. Can we just be thankful that these incidents don’t happen on the regular.
Prayer is the answer Dominica
Wow d/a really? Afghan with tiny war, can’t believe the country getting fast so first it was high speed chase now dis awa gasa them les escahmohteh need to throw
that “click” that does be by the public convenience in Loubiere, smoking and drinking there. de task force must make more patrol in that area.
Heaven help us all, the law authorities in Dominica need to take all these shooting, drive by shooting, stabbing etc very serious
What do we expect when the tugs out there knows that those in high authority are manipulating the court system and nothing is being done
Dive by shooting this is serious, soon people will not be able to walk the streets of Dominica enjoying the moon and stars, even so enjoying a full moon night out, this is sad
What do we expect when we have seasoned criminals/murderers committing murders, stabbing people, threatening people and walking the streets, some having the trials drop, some having juries finding them not guilty etc, Dominica is too much as small island for all this crimes, only God knows what will happen when the hardened criminals awaiting deportation arrive in Dominica and the other Caribbean islands
A country with no justice will never be a peaceful country. Skerrit you and the justice minister need to work on reimplementing the dead penalty in Dominica, until then the criminals will continue beating the law system, soon of them walking the streets threatening people saying that the law cannot do nothing with them, what a shame
what the hell am i hearing whats up with my sweet da drive by we really on the next level
This is getting ridiculous!!! Prayers for my tiny island. May God guide us.
Not little grand theft auto!!!
This island need deliverance, as far as i can see Dominica is no longer a safe place and no one is safe on the island, the island is going from bad to worst
Drive by shooting oh boy. What do we expect when criminals/ murderers are walking the streets free charges drop, jury find some not guilty,as we all know, where there is no justice there is no peace
People in high ranking positions committing crimes and nothing is being done, many on them manipulating the justice system etc.
Too many guns on the streets of Dominica in the hands of criminals and heartless people
Lord help us all, sooner or later people will not be able to walk the streets of Dominica any more, even so enjoy a moonlight evening, this is so sad, Heaven help us all
start from the bottom now we here… started from da bottom now my whole crew here

Wow!!!
Pretty advance..Drive by shooting..What’s up with that..
Seems like my country in on a steady decline
DNO please follow up on this story and bring more information as it becomes available. Keep the pressure on TOP COP, lest get this crime solved. Get the police on the street, finding snoopinf for clues to the advance level of crime that we know as “Drive by”…I know this is an advance crime. But dominica COPS are brilliant….
it’s the whole world proud
‘is’ on a steady decline.
