SUMMARY: Grenada has experienced a series of shootings, resulting in eight people being shot and one person killed in just three days. The first shooting occurred outside a nightclub, followed by shootings in homes and an apartment complex. The community is in fear and feeling helpless, with calls for the church and community to come together to address the violence. Additional shootings occurred on Monday, with no arrests made. The police chief stated that there is a heightened patrol effort to address the situation, but the shooters are still at large. WTV 9 News will provide a detailed report on the shootings.

Monday’s shooting of four people in Grenada looks very similar to the weekend shootings of four other people.
