Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris and his Cabinet have condemned in the strongest possible terms the shooting incident on the home of Deputy Prime Minister, the Honourable Shawn Richards, and his family, which took place on March 10.

The Government thanks Almighty God that the Deputy Prime Minister and his family were not hurt physically and are safe. Many law abiding citizens and residents have conveyed well wishes to the Minister and his family, while expressing their abhorrence of the cowardly incident.
The Government wishes to reassure all that it will not be deterred in the fight against crime and will continue to fully support the security forces in the protection of all the citizens and residents.
