News 5 investigation tracks bullets

Story Picture
While the UDP looks at what may have been the political roots of the Tower Hill riot, a commission of inquiry will soon be taking a look of its own into Monday’s violent events in which two rioters were injured by gunshots, presumably fired by security forces. Those two forces, the police and B.D.F., are also conducting their own internal investigations. News 5, meanwhile, continues to do its own research into the incident. A detailed review of the video tape and a computerised audio analysis of the at least thirty gunshots on that tape have led our investigators to believe that at least three police officers and two B.D.F. soldiers fired their weapons during the confrontation.
