| The scene after the latest shooting on Darling Street in downtown Kingston on Thursday afternoon. |
A man was attacked and shot in his face by men travelling in a motor vehicle along Darling Street in West Kingston on Thursday afternoon.
Reports are that about 3:30 p.m., the man who is believed to be a bus operator, was standing close to the bus park next door to the Darling Street Police Station, when men drove up in a vehicle and opened fire at him.
Having hit their target, the men in the vehicle then drove away.
“When the men left, the injured man was found suffering from gunshot wounds,” said an alleged eyewitness.
The injured man has since been hospitalised.
The police said the shooting is the latest in an ongoing feud between gang members from Tivoli Gardens and Denham Town, which has been played out in tit-for-tat gun attacks mainly in Denham Town and the Darling Street area.
A man and a woman were shot and injured in a drive-by shooting at the same Darling Street location just over a month ago.

Two of five men who were listed by the Kingston Eastern police as being wanted for the murder of a man in Rockfort are now in police custody.
The police said the men - Leighton 'Livity' Coke and Christopher 'Titti Man' Coke - both turned themselves in to the police late on Wednesday.
The police said arrangements are now being made for the two to be interviewed.
The five persons were listed as being wanted in relation to the March 12 murder of Patrick Davis, otherwise called ‘P Boy’.
Three other men - 27-year-old Lanchester Coke, otherwise called ‘Bamma T’; another man only known as ‘Ratty’; and David Biggs, otherwise called ‘Alien’, who is of an unknown address – have so far not heeded the call from the police for them to surrender.
The Cokes are all relatives of incarcerated gangster, Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke.
The police have said anyone with information that can assist in capturing these men are being asked to contact the Elletson Road Criminal Investigation Branch at 928-4200, the police 119 emergency number, the nearest police station, or Crime Stop at 311 and 811.
