Superintendent James Howard - At 9:35pm on Sunday, October 14th, as a result of calls made to the police COMOPS unit, several officers were dispatched to the area of the Mid-Atlantic Boat Club in Devonshire where it was reported that a firearms incident had taken place.

As a result, a 42-year-old male was taken to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. Unfortunately, that male has now succumbed to his injuries. At this time we have our forensic officers, as well as officers from the Serious Crime Unit conducting preliminary inquiries into the incident.

As you can appreciate, we are in the infancy stages of this investigation, so I am limited as to what I can say at this time.

Anyone with any information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Serious Crime Unit on 247-1739 or the confidential and anonymous Crime Stoppers hotline on 800-8477.
