The Major Investigation Division (MID) has launched a probe following the fatal shooting of two policemen along Waltham Park Road in St Andrew just before 8 p.m. last night.
As of press time, investigators at the scene were struggling to determine the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the two serving members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF). Officers combed the area for evidence, including conducting a thorough inspection of the vehicle that had transported both men to the hospital.
Reports indicate that the policemen, who were off duty at the time, were shot and killed by a man who reportedly approached them and opened fire.
Sources say one of the officers was assigned to the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigation Branch of the JCF, while the other is the son of a police inspector attached to the police training school.
Several high-ranking law enforcement officials were present at the scene, visibly shaken by the incident.
Investigations into the tragic shooting are ongoing.
