Crucial Quote
West End and Bimini MP Kingsley Smith said he was “disheartened to learn of a shooting incident which occurred on Bimini. This island community prides itself on being the gateway to the Bahamas.”
He added, “Incidents such as the one today, do not bode well for our reputation. Equally so, it is not a representation of who we are as an island community.”
