Police from the St Andrew South Division yesterday said that they have received word that criminals were planning to attack the Hunts Bay Police Station.

Up to press time last night, however, there were no reported attacks there.

Lawmen from the Hunts Bay Police Station told THE STAR that there was sporadic gunfire in various communities in the division on Sunday night. One officer from the CIB told THE STAR that there were reports of shootings in the Ashley Road area of Maxfield Avenue in Kingston 11.

The police also said a man had been shot in the Majestic Gardens community yesterday morning.

Residents of several communities near Washington Boulevard reported hearing gunshots late Sunday night. While not ruling out the possibility, the police said they had not heard those reports.

The police said that despite those cases most of the division remained quiet, with only a few isolated incidents of violence. They also said they had received no reports of looting.
