38-year-old businesswoman Corra Thompson of Cumber Avenue, Montego Bay, St.James was shot and killed by gunmen at the entrance of the church while a service was taking place.

According to Custos Pitkin, there was a time when the church was considered a safe haven.

Bishop Pitkin offered his support to the church family and also the family of the deceased.
