A brazen shooting incident has rocked the area around St. John’s West Bus Station, leaving two young men from Villa with gunshot wounds just moments after the attack unfolded. Local law enforcement has launched an urgent investigation into the attack, which occurred as the two victims were traveling home from a public works gathering hosted at the city’s Multi-Purpose Centre, according to initial law enforcement briefs.
Preliminary medical updates confirm that one of the victims sustained a gunshot wound to his torso side, while the second victim was hit in the leg. Both men are currently receiving urgent medical care, though official updates on their current conditions have not yet been released to the public.
Investigators have also confirmed that the two injured young men are reportedly linked to a local faction known by the name “2Drilly”, a detail that has added a new layer of context to the ongoing probe into what led to the public attack. Local residents have expressed shock over the violent incident taking place in a busy transit hub, and authorities are asking any witnesses who were in the area around the time of the shooting to come forward with any information that could help move the investigation forward.
