Residents Protest Police Killing In Falmouth
Residents in Falmouth blocked roads and demonstrated earlier today, as the protested last night’s shooting of four men in Falmouth Gardens by the police. The police report that the four, including two 17 year old male twin brothers, were shot dead after they engaged a police patrol in a shootout. A fifth man allegedly escaped, and the police say they recovered two firearms following the incident. The men have been identified as Glendon Gordon, Glenroy Gordon, Patrick Cunningham (a taxi operator) and Robert Brown (aka Gussie).
Residents however are claiming that there was no shoot out, and that the police simply drove up, blocked the motor vehicle that the men were in, and opened fire on them. They allege that the police fired, even as the men begged for mercy.
The police’s Bureau of Special Investigations has reportedly been called in to investigate the matter.
