Yesterday we reported on the broad daylight shooting that happened on Gill Street - just a stone's throw away from 3 schools. Three gunmen stood at the corner of Sanker Street and opened fire on a group of men who were standing on Gill Street. Residents say they heard as many as 30 gunshots - and 3 persons, not just the two we reported on yesterday, were injured. 30 year old Maurice Felix was shot to the left foot - while 32 year old Mykelt Anthony was shot to the back and right leg. Anthony is listed in a critical but stable condition at the KHMH. So far police have no suspects detained and say they are investigating. Today we visited the crime scene on Gill Street where we spoke to an eyewitness who asked to remain off camera. He told us what he saw.

"Yesterday I was washing a vehicle and the guys were having a conversation. Right after that, the guys looked up and they saw about 3 men around the lane and then we started hearing shots fired. We ran in the yard. When I looked back, I saw some of the guys on the ground. I saw the put the guy in the vehicle and they went to the hospital."

"I understand that someone else got grazed around here - a young lady."
Voice of Eyewitness
"Yes. She is from up the street, about a lane away. She got grazed by a gunshot."
Monica Bodden
"She got grazed to what part of her body?"
Voice of Eyewitness
"By her belly."
That woman was later identified as Rhonda Burgess who was sitting on her front verandah - just up the street from where the shooting happened. Burgess was grazed to her abdomen and was treated and released from the KHMH.
