Good Afternoon Bermuda.
Like most of Bermuda, my thoughts and prayers are with the families of those affected by last night’s incident.
I condemn the shootings at the Robin Hood Bar and Restaurant in the strongest possible terms. The callous and senseless acts of violence which occurred last night has no place in our society. This heinous act put so many people in harm’s way.
I will reiterate my comments from last night. If anyone knows anything, they must say something. The perpetrators of this crime must be brought to justice, and the only way to do that is to assist the police in their investigations.
The Ministry of National Security together with the Police urges calm in the community whilst the investigation is underway.
If you have information, contact the police immediately. Call 211 or the confidential and anonymous phone number 800 8477.
Additionally, if there are individuals that need emotional support, there are resources on hand to offer assistance.
Bermuda, the violence must stop. I plead to each of you to do your part in helping to end this.
