IN EXACTLY ONE WEEK, Barbados recorded a second shooting death.

Jamal Worrell, a 23-year-old part-time chicken farm worker, was gunned down yesterday after he and a relative confronted a group of men in the bushy area of their workplace at The Bleak, near Indian Ground, St Peter.

The killing shocked the rural district as news spread about Worrell’s untimely ending.
