Despite the current spate of violence, there is nothing to suggest that it will spiral out of control, said Supt. Antoine Daniels.

Speaking after the Easter holiday was marred by violence, Supt. Daniels said it appeared members of the community were "frustrated and outraged" with the gun violence.

The mayhem began when Kimwandae Walker, 35, was gunned down in front of his children at a Good Friday family fun day at Victor Scott Primary School field at 2.15 p.m.

Early Sunday morning, an 18-year-old man was shot and an 19-year-old man was stabbed at the Royal Artillery Association (RAA) in St. George's around 3 a.m.

Later that night, a 17-year-old schoolgirl was shot four times along with Antoine Tuzo, 39, at Western Stars Sports Club, on St. John's Road, just before midnight.

Supt Daniels said: "Although the ongoing situation of escalating gun violence in Bermuda is serious and there are some understandable fears among the community members at this time, there is no real evidence to suggest that the current situation will spiral out of control and become unmanageable."

Asked if more people have come forward with information, he said the number is commendable, but added the Police still need additional information.

"Often there are multiple persons in attendance at a particular location or event when one of these tragic shooting incidents occurs who assume that Police investigators are aware of all the facts because other witnesses present may have informed Police.

"Instead these persons adopt a position known as diffusion of responsibility which leads to critical information not being received and within the current climate of firearms violence this will not only create more danger, but the additional risk of cases not being resolved."

Supt. Daniels said the service has received tips from a number of persons regarding all three of the most recent shooting incidents.

Meanwhile Bermuda Democratic Alliance MP, Mark Pettingill claimed Bermuda has gone too far.

"We are passed [sic] a tipping point when young fathers are being killed in broad daylight on a religious holiday in front of their children. Even the worst of organised crime the world over has 'rules' about that type of conduct.

"These killers have gone beyond low life in other jurisdictions. One hopes people will come forward to report what they know, if they do not they are equally as low and Bermuda is another world for the very worst of reasons."

Mr. Pettingill said he hoped the Government and Police have a plan of action waiting to be "sprung". He added if there is no plan, the Island is in trouble.

Rise Above Bermuda's Lou Matthews echoed Mr. Pettingill's statements.

On wherether the Island has reached a tipping point, he said: "I certainly hope so. I don't know why for some this happened a long time ago, for others, after this weekend. For others, I just don't know what it will take. Rise Above, Bermuda (RAB) is based on the belief that there lies a powerful moral capacity in Bermudians that can be awakened. We are betting on it."

On witnesses coming forward with information, Mr. Matthews said: "I think the issue is twofold. Yes, we all must be emboldened to come forth with information vital to save our children and families. But it must be stressed that there is also an equal burden on police, policymakers and justices to ensure that justice can and will prevail."

Shadow Public Safety Minister Michael Dunkley said: "The tipping point is when people decide enough is enough. Bermudians are well past that. So you think people are going to come forward with information? The Police could certainly use more people coming forward.

"I think there are many people that know something about each and every incident. What will it take for people to speak to the Police? I don't know. People are not going to talk about something until it hits close to home."
