What's going on in Bermuda has no boundaries right now, according to residents of Soundview Road, Sandys.

With the escalation in gun violence spreading to outlying parishes everyone should be concerned, said the residents of the street where the Island's latest fatal shooting took place.

A woman in whose driveway a 22-year-old man was shot dead on Tuesday, said: "I've lived here all my life and this is a quiet neighbourhood.

"I really can't express how I feel right now but I'm in shock, I just feel numb."

Yesterday the Police cordons had been removed from outside the apartment building where Gary 'Fingas' Cann was killed, returning Soundview Road to some semblance of normality. But for residents, a sense of personal safety has been lost.

Mr. Cann, of Pembroke, was shot at around 10.30 p.m. on Tuesday. The incident was followed by another shooting, outside Warwick Lanes Bowling Alley at 1.35 a.m., in which a 25-year-old Southampton man was injured.

The evening of carnage marked an escalation of gang-related gun violence outside the so-called "trouble spots" of St. Monica's Road aka 42nd Street, and Middletown in Pembroke.

"It's not about them staying out of your neighbourhood anymore because now they are here. People have to worry about their safety," said Sharon Faries, a resident of Soundview Road.

The 46-year-old secretary said having a man shot dead in her street had made her "very" concerned about the safety of her 12-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son.

"We've had three shootings in the last 24 hours, it's just scary," she said.

"I've lived in Bermuda for over 25 years and this year I've never seen anything like it. There was a time you could feel safe here but now you can't.

"I don't know how the Police are going to stem this because it seems out of control to me. It's awful.

"We've got to get these guns off the street. I just don't think it's over yet, I think there's going to be more retaliation. But people have to remember that's someone's brother or someone's father. It's very sad."

David Durham, a co-producer of the Bermuda Music Festival, whose property was the scene of Mr. Cann's shooting on Tuesday night, did not wish to comment yesterday.

Meanwhile, at Warwick Lanes Bowling Alley, Police removed a stray bullet casing from outside the rear entrance to the 13th Frame lounge bar. Staff did not wish to comment.
