The Jamaica Constabulary Force is issuing a stern warning against the reckless and illegal practice of celebratory gunfire.

"Bullets fired upwards can travel great distances and fall with lethal force, potentially injuring or killing innocent bystanders," the JCF stated in a release.

"The JCF will remain vigilant and ensure that violators are arrested. We implore you to help us keep our communities safe by refraining from any form of celebratory gunfire," the release said.
