A brazen suspected drive-by shooting has left a municipal Public Works employee wounded while he carried out his official duties at a construction and maintenance site along All Saints Road on Tuesday, according to initial law enforcement and emergency reports.
The victim, identified only as a heavy equipment operator employed by the local Public Works Department, sustained gunshots to the stomach and foot after the shooter or shooters opened fire on the active work zone, where multiple municipal crews were reportedly conducting routine infrastructure work when the incident unfolded. Witness accounts confirm that gunfire erupted unexpectedly, forcing other on-site workers to take cover immediately before emergency responders were dispatched to the scene.
Following the attack, first responders stabilized the injured worker and transported him urgently to the territory’s main healthcare facility, Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, for urgent surgical and medical intervention. As of the latest official update, hospital and law enforcement officials have not released a formal update on the victim’s current health status, leaving colleagues and community members waiting for further word.
Local law enforcement authorities have formally launched a full criminal investigation into the shooting, appealing to any members of the public who were in the area around the time of the incident and may have captured footage or witnessed suspicious activity to come forward with information. To date, no descriptions of potential suspects have been made public, and investigators have not outlined any confirmed possible motives for the targeted attack on the municipal work site.
