People were soon in hot pursuit and chased him all the way to Sir David Rose Avenue,Tampa Bay Rays Tommy Hunter Jersey, where he jumped over the Cockatara Creek, and plunged into the dense vegetation on the perimeters of the Linmine Constabulary Compound.The police soon joined in the chase and there was a brief exchange of gunfire.Soon residents converged on Sir David Rose Avenue,Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Ben Revere Jersey, as both police and a few civilians, attacked the thick vegetation with cutlasses while the police stood with their weapons at the ready.The man was identified by persons who knew him as a former Linmine constable, and resident of Blue Berry Hill squatting Area,Zach Duke Jersey, Linden.The suspect’s wife later came on the scene and also joined in the search for her husband, and she could be heard calling out to him to come out.But there was no response,Milwaukee Brewers Neftali Feliz Jersey, and later, only sporadic gunshots, which sent persons scampering for cover were heard.There was speculation that the latter set of gunshots were from the suspect’s gun,Aroldis Chapman Jersey, but that could not be confirmed.One of the man’s relatives who remained at the scene,Howie Kendrick Jersey, pacing up and down, even after his wife had left, said the man’s actions were totally out of character,Cleveland Indians Edwin Encarnacion Jersey, since he was not that kind of person.She said that she last saw him on Tuesday night at the Fruit’s of Calvary Church, which he attends.And a resident of the Constabulary Compound said that the man was armed and dangerous as he “leggo” some shots at a taxi driver who had attempted to catch him before he crossed the creek.“The man fire two shots and tek off he shirt; he had on a black and white shirt and a black pants; but he hold on pon de money bag”.Persons on Republic Avenue reported seeing the man loitering in the vicinity of Digicel over the past two days.
