He reiterated the government’s determination to get tougher on crime and illegal firearms.

The Prime Minister said the incident underscores the devastating consequences of illegal firearms and the human cost that remains behind every murder recorded in Jamaica.

He stressed that Jamaica cannot become indifferent to the loss of innocent lives to criminal violence.
