Woman and four kids unscathed during hail of gunfire

flowers 001There was more violence in the city last night with two shootings on West Canal. The first incident happened at six-thirty p.m. at the corner of West Canal and Berkley Street.  Dana Flowers and her four children were inside their home when shots went off. She was about to step onto her porch when a gunman whom she did not recognize started to shoot from an alley on the other side of the canal. The bullets penetrated the verandah and several walls of her home. Luckily none of her children were hurt and the cops arrived fifteen minutes later to assess the damage. Flowers did not wish to appear on camera but she said that she and her children are innocent victims and hope that there wouldn’t be any more attacks at her house.

Voice of: Dana Flowers, Home Shot Several Times

    Mr Perdomo needs to take back his words in regards to the crime rate in Belize.

    what the hell? These maniacs go shooting after innocent women and children too? Mein, what is Belize coming to nowadays. This is why people are going to start running away like crazy and never look back. I want to see my country prosper, but what is the Govt. doing. We need change and we need actual leadership. PUP, UDP more like PUDP, they are the same thing, incompetent thieves and I blame them for the state of the country
