ST. THOMAS — Two people were injured and two died during a shooting incident late Sunday night in a St. Thomas Nightclub, a person with knowledge of the incident made known to The Consortium. The information was subsequently confirmed by V.I.P.D. Public Information Officer Glen Dratte.
According to Mr. Dratte, at 11:02 p.m. Sunday, the 911 emergency call center received notification from a concerned individual reporting gunshots at the MI Bloque Disco, located in Altona & Welgunst, and that one person was shot in the chest.
However, upon officers’ arrival to the scene, two individuals were lying on the ground inside the nightclub unresponsive.
