Two cousins were in­jured in a shoot­ing on Mon­day night, while lim­ing at the home of a known “com­mu­ni­ty leader” in Glen­coe.

Po­lice said round 8.10 pm, the vic­tims were re­port­ed­ly among a group of six peo­ple at a house lo­cat­ed north of the foot­ball field on La Hor­quette Val­ley Road.

The group re­port­ed­ly saw a black pick-up truck, which they be­lieved to be an un­marked po­lice ve­hi­cle, dri­ving along the street. The ve­hi­cle passed them, made a U-turn fur­ther up, then re­turned and stopped in front of where they were gath­ered. As the rear dri­ver-side win­dow low­ered, the men said the oc­cu­pants opened fire be­fore speed­ing off.

An 18-year-old, of Point Cumana, Care­nage, was shot in the right foot, right up­per arm and right back; while his 28-year-old cousin of Co­corite Ter­race, Co­corite, was shot in the right el­bow and left shin.

Both vic­tims were treat­ed at the St James In­fir­mary and dis­charged in sta­ble con­di­tion.

A to­tal of 21 spent 9 mm shell cas­ings, and 17 spent 5.56 mm shell cas­ings were re­cov­ered at the scene.
