There is no information from the police more than twelve hours after a policeman was shot dead, reportedly by one of his colleagues at the Ocho Rios police station, St Ann.

Another policeman was shot and wounded in the same incident that followed police arrest of one of their own, followed by a bizarre set of events.

Dead is constable Sheldon Williams, otherwise called Silvan, of Gayle in St. Mary. He was stationed at the Police Armoury in Kingston.

No fresh details are available on the wounded officer who, IRIE FM News reported was in hospital up to early this morning. That officer was stationed at the Ocho Rios police station.

Loud dreaded explosions pierced the usual calm of the police station in the north coast town of Ocho Rios.

Civilians in earshot flocked the facility, frantically trying to find answers.

The crowd swelled as fast as the news that police killed one of their colleagues and wounded another.

The authorities are yet to disclose officially, what caused the demise of constable Williams, who worked in Kingston but grew up just outside Gayle in St. Mary.

What is known is that he was among a group of cops on a boat trip, in waters near Ocho Rios yesterday.

Constable Williams reportedly became boisterous and fired a number of shots in the air.

His colleagues on the boat, became concerned and told police on land, that constable Williams was behaving badly.

An operation was mounted, and constable Williams was held and taken to the Ocho Rios police station.

Cops on duty reportedly retrieved a firearm from constable Williams and placed it on a desk in the guard room.

Constable Williams allegedly grabbed the gun, dashed outside the station and started firing wildly.

He reportedly wounded a policeman, and was allegedly shot by another cop during the alleged gunfight.

Amid last night’s gloom, relatives and friends of the dead cop turned up at the Ocho Rios police station in shock.

His father cried openly as he chided the police for shooing his son, despite knowing he is their colleague.

Family friend, Julian Sylvera says a full investigation is needed as constable Williams was a well-mannered youngster.

The shooting comes one month after a cop of the Ocho Rios police station fatally shot a civilian in Buckfield Ocho Rios under controversial circumstances that attracted national outrage.
