BASSETERRE, St. Kitts — Anyone with information regarding a recent shooting incident at the Warner Park in Basseterre is asked to contact the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF).
The RSCNPF received the report of a shooting incident at Warner Park at about 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 4. Preliminary investigations have revealed that several juveniles were standing in the park watching a football match when they were approached by a masked gunman who opened fire at them.

The gunman escaped.
