Drive by shooting injures seven

[NewsWhore]

Seven people were wounded during a drive-by shooting incident in the Baracoa barrio of Santiago de los Caballeros yesterday. The incident occurred as a group of men were playing dominos on the sidewalk. The barrio is located in the western part of the city, near the Yaque River. Most of the wounded were taken to the Jose Maria Cabral y Baez Regional University Hospital for treatment. One man, Felix Dilone was holding a little girl when the shooting occurred, and was wounded in the back as he dived for safety. The little girl was unharmed. According to Listin Diario, this is the second drive-by incident in recent days, and reporter Pedro Jimenez says that one witness was of the opinion that the shooters were not aiming at the domino players but at some of the passers-by. One of the wounded, Juan Jose, a.k.a. El Duende (the spirit), said that he was shot in the leg as he was fixing a door at a nearby house. A few weeks ago one person was killed and several others wounded in a similar incident when shots from a moving vehicle were aimed at a group that was drinking on the sidewalk. On that occasion the attackers returned to the site and shot at police investigators who were looking into the first incident. So far, the police have not found any suspects.
