Police have responded to a report that a young man in Lowmans Windward died Sunday evening, reportedly of a self-inflicted gunshot injury.
The circumstances surrounding the death are not clear at this time.
However, iWitness News understands that the firearm in question belongs to one of the youth’s relatives, who has a permit to hold the weapon, but is reportedly overseas.
This is a developing story and iWitness News will bring further details.
What a tragedy! My condolences to the family and all others who will be affected by this untimely bereavement.
Condolences 😯 but why was not the weapon secured within a safe of which all of us legal gun owners should have ?? And if the owner was over seas why was ammunition within the gun or also not secured 😔😔😔 Such a tragedy
The authorities should revoke the license of that firearm owner. If the holder is travelling overseas that firearm should have been taken to the police for safe keeping. Total slackness.
If someone have a permit for a firearm and they leaving aren’t that person so post to hand in their firearm to the police station until they return or secure it properly out of the reach of others?just asking
