Coral Henry never imagined her grandson would die tragically, and in the wake of his gun death, she is calling for illegal guns to be taken off the streets.
Shae Antone Hackett became Barbados’ 20th unnatural death for the year when the Dunlow Lane, Bay Street, St Michael resident was shot dead at about 10:10 p.m. at the nearby St Paul’s Avenue, Bayville.
“When I in here I don’t look out. I might be out and get what ain’t for me, so I like to stay in. The guns, where they coming from, only God knows. I can’t say because I might get lock up,” Henry told the MIDWEEK NATION.
Henry said her 20-year-old grandson was very friendly and she didn’t know him to get into serious conflict with anybody.
“He know everybody in the gap, running here, running there, doing this or that for anybody. Sometimes Shae got he ways, sometimes he don’t. We can’t get our children one way. When I say ways, he might have a little fight or something with somebody, but that was life,” she said. (RA)
