ST. CROIX — The Virgin Islands Police Department is currently investigating a shooting incident that occurred this morning at 4:25 a.m. at the\u00a0Candido Guadalupe Housing Community, according to a press release V.I.P.D. Public Information Officer Glen Dratte issued this afternoon.<\/p>\n

According to the release, police officers, along with the force’s forensic unit were dispatched to the scene and upon arrival found spent shell casings and a vehicle that had been damaged by bullets, its windshield pierced with bullet holes.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dratte said there was no other information to share at this time, and that the incident was under investigation by the V.I.P.D.’s Criminal Investigation Bureau.<\/p>\n

According to a police source, gunshots also struck the apartment of a resident residing in building 7, who said her children were in the living room watching television into the early hours of Thursday morning when the shots rang out. The gunshots were followed by what sounded like glass breaking, prompting the mother to grab her children and take cover, according to the police source, who requested anonymity because police are not allowed to speak about investigations.<\/p>\n

Police later found at least one bullet in the house, and two bullet holes in the mother’s apartment windows, according to the police source.<\/p>\n

Police are\u00a0asking anyone with additional information to contact the\u00a0Criminal Investigation Bureau at 340-712-6024 \/ 712-6037, 911 or the anonymous tip service, Crime Stoppers USVI, at 1-800-222-8477.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
