The St Elizabeth Police are investigating a shooting incident on Tuesday, following a motor vehicle crash along the Barbery Hall main road.
Head of the St Elizabeth Police, Superintendent Coleridge Minto, reported that at about 3:30 pm, a Toyota Rav4 motorcar was shot up after a dispute between its driver and two men.
Preliminary reports are that the RAV4 and a motorbike were travelling in the same direction towards Pedro Plains when the motorbike crashed into the rear of the SUV.
Following the crash, a confrontation ensued between the respective drivers. That then escalated into a physical altercation.
During the struggle, the licensed firearm belonging to the RAV4 driver was forcibly taken away by one of the motorcyclists who then used it to fire several shots at the motorcar.
All four men involved in the incident have been taken into police custody for further questioning.
Superintendent Minto says the incident is not linked to any political activity in the parish.
