Please read our previous post, here, for a background to the following:
Bishop Herro Blair, the Political Ombudsman, has reported that there were 44 confirmed civilian deaths in Western Kingston.
The Public Defender, Earl Whitter, claims that only four (4) guns have been collected...one (1) found on perimeter of Tivoli Gardens and three (3) in Denham Town.
He has surmised that the disparity between the guns collected and civilian deaths, could have been as a result of gunmen giving guns to cronies who escaped into neighboring communities...or that the Security Forces took evasive action.

In the meantime:
...there has been a mad rush by Corporate Area (Kingston & St.Andrew) residents to stock up on food...most supermarkets in the Corporate Area are bare.
Sporadic shooting continues in Spanish Town, St. Catherine.
