An 18-year-old woman is in stable condition after being shot Tuesday night in Bexon, St. Lucia. The attack occurred around 9 p.m. when three masked gunmen ambushed her as she returned home from an outing.
Residents suspect the woman may have been targeted by someone she knows, though the motive is unclear.
This shooting adds to a growing trend of gun violence on the island, with over 50 homicides this year, most involving firearms.
In response, the public is calling for stronger crime prevention measures and stricter penalties for illegal firearm offenses.
Authorities are investigating the incident and urging anyone with information to come forward.
