The Royal Gazette: "30-year-old Paget man was shot in broad daylight on Saturday afternoon on Sound View Road in Sandys.
The incident, which happened only yards from where neighbourhood children play, left many area residents shaken up.
The shooting victim, who has not been named, was shot in the leg. He was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital and released later that day. Neighbours say they were going about their normal routines when three gun shots rang out shortly after 2 p.m. Police were on the scene within minutes and had cordoned off the area, near Somerset Road, to search for gun shells left behind.
The incident marks a wave of gun crime to hit the West End. The Royal Gazette spoke to residents in the area shortly after the shooting. Many appeared to be in shock. One said: 'It is just so scary, right on the corner as well. We have tenants and both of them have little children and it makes you not want to go outside.
'I can't believe it, it is just gone from bad to worse. The fact that at broad daylight people are shooting off guns it is just out of control. This last year has been so violent in Bermuda. And I feel so sorry for the Police as well because they have a hard ride ahead of them with these young people.'
Another resident said she was 'really bothered' and 'uncomfortable' by the incident being so close to home.
She said it was near to where Gary (Fingaz) Cann, 22, was murdered in December of last year, but said this was even more shocking because it was in the middle of the day."
