A 27-year-old woman was today being treated in intensive care after a drive-by shooting on Court Street.According to police, the shooting took place outside Swinging Doors at 11.28pm yesterday. A man was also being treated for non-gunshot injuries.Today Swinging Doors owner Craig Nisbett, who was present in the bar at the time of the shooting, gave the location as the corner of Court and Elliott Street, where a group of young people had congregated. He said a group had requested to use the bar that night for a private party, but had been refused.“They were down near the corner and suddenly everybody just came running,” Mr Nisbett said.He was unable to confirm the number of shots. A customer in the bar confirmed seeing a motorcycle travelling south on Court Street just before the gunshots.A police spokesman said that “men travelling on a motorcycle shot at a group of individuals congregated outside of Swinging Doors”.The injured woman was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. Her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.A man was also taken for treatment of “superficial, non-gun related injuries”.Mr Nisbet described a brief confusion as revelers fled the scene, but said he had not been aware of any tensions prior to the incident.“Police never even came in to ask us our concerns,” he said. “This place had nothing to do with it.”Area business owners expressed dismay at the negative repercussions of the incident.Speaking from Chewstick's premises, close to the scene, Chewstick director Gavin Smith said: “For us, the reason we are out here is to be a positive exception to this negative behaviour. This is spilling out of control.”He said the whole area of North Hamilton gets “whitewashed as dangerous”.“The scary part is the random side of the situation. This is the true fear factor, and that's what the police are up against. When it starts getting random like this, it's very scary.”A business manager nearby echoed Mr Smith's concerns.“It's just been wasteful for us to have shops here,” she said. “Our prices are discount and very low, and we still are not getting the support we need from our own community because they are too scared.”She said business had recently improved but was sure to suffer as a result of a woman being shot.“It was just warming up. We got many of our clients back over the last month. Now young girls can't enjoy their summer and we can't make money.”Police today said they were continuing to appeal for witnesses and said the victim was in a stable condition in the intensive care unit at KEMH.The 23-year-old man who was injured was treated in hospital and released.This afternoon Senator Michael Dunkley, One Bermuda Alliance Shadow Minister for National Security, issued a statement which said: "The big danger for Bermuda has always been that the gun violence brought to our shores by gangs would some day spill over into the general community."It appears that last night’s shooting was random in nature and not part of the gang-on-gang violence that has defined the pattern of violent crime over the past two years."We await final Police findings on the matter, but take this opportunity to remind concerned citizens that Bermuda must maintain the most concentrated focus on its crime situation. We say that because it threatens not only our family and community life across the Island but also the economic foundations of the Island itself."For these reasons, we urge the Government and Police to maintain a priority focus on gangs and gang violence. They represent an embedded societal challenge that will not go away with a smattering of arrests and convictions here and there."The Police, for the most part, deal with the symptoms of alienation among a spreading number of young Bermudians who find refuge and validation in gang membership."We support the Police in dealing with this difficult challenge and once again urge the Government to give them all the resources and support they need to continue confronting this challenge to our way of life."Let us not be fooled by headlines of arrests, gun seizures or the recent lull in gang violence."Today another Bermudian lays in critical care with bullet wounds and this sadly demonstrates that despite the efforts of the BPS, despite the growing success of CrimeStoppers Bermuda and despite the various emerging community projects Bermuda still requires more if we are to turn back the violent side of gang culture and the threat to the general community."This is why the OBA continues to push for a National Plan and an Operation Ceasefire type approach."Operation Ceasefire is a two-pronged programme that relies on a strong, controlling police presence in communities, but also the everyday presence of a caring community led by activists who can deal directly with gang members, their peers and parents on the streets and in their homes 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Meaningful community support has been the key to success in other jurisdictions, and this is the promise of Operation Ceasefire."For a better understanding of Operation Ceasefire, we urge people to visit the OBA website.
