Teen Survives Shooting in Hopkins Village

There’s a disturbing incident out of Hopkins, a quiet coastal village shaken by early morning gunfire. Around 4:50 a.m. on Sunday, eighteen-year-old Gevin Armstrong from Dangriga was shot multiple times while walking near the village basketball court. He says he knows the person who pulled the trigger. Miraculously, Armstrong survived and is now in stable condition at the Southern Regional Hospital. Police say he’s not known to them, and with no clear motive yet, they’re waiting on his full statement to help piece together what led to the attack.
