The police are following several leads into last night’s shooting up of a public passenger bus which left the driver and an 18-year-old female passenger dead in Hanover.
Three persons were also shot and injured during the attack.
The deceased, both of Hanover addresses are: 37-year-old Tose McIntosh of Johnson Town 18-year-old Kelinslworth HEART Academy student, Shannon Murray of Askenish.
Reports are that about 7:00pm a Toyota Hiace minisbus, driven by McIntosh, which plies the route between Lucea and Askenish; was travelling along the Dundee Pen road, loaded with passengers.
Upon reaching a section of the Dundee Pen main road, the bus stopped to let off a passenger when a gunman alighted from the bushes and opened fire hitting five persons, including the driver on board the vehicle.
The five were rushed to hospital where McIntosh and Murray were pronounced dead.
The other three persons, all of Askenish, remain in hospital.
The police theorise that McIntosh was the target of the attack.
