The two occupants began their high-speed gun shooting drama in a white “Honda” that was travelling east “the wrong way” on Shirley Street around 2am this morning.
However an “Enforcement Unit” that patrolled the area and saw two men acting suspiciously in the area and started chasing the car.
The car was later tracked into the Step Street area of Fox Hill in the area of PLP headquarters with the engine “hot” and running. The occupants fled into the bushes and once again opened fire on police officers.
