The people of 100 Lane, north of the Jamaican capital Kingston, moved away from their community in droves with their household articles in trucks and vans following the shooting deaths of seven members of their community earlier in the morning by over 30 gunmen. They were executed by bandits who carried an assortment of low and high-powered weapons, police said.
The dead are sisters Sheneka Malcolm, seven, and Teneisha Wilson, 13, their mother, Doreen James, 33, Andrea Simmonds, 33, Eleisha Montgomery, 18, Ruddy Wilson, 28, and O'Neil Samuels.
The 100 Lane community is a stronghold of the ruling People's National Party and police believe that it came under attack by men who were bent on getting back at members of the community, whom they accused of being responsible for the death of a vendor.
The vendor, Glenroy Mais, was from the opposing politically-tainted community of Park Lane which has firm ties with the opposition Jamaica Labour Party.
The gunmen were reportedly dressed in police and army fatigues and fired at members of the community for over an hour.
