Members of the entertainment industry reacted in shock and dismay at the news of tonight's shooting, especially since it occurred on the heels of Sunday night's shooting of singer O'Neil Edwards of the Voicemail group.

"A second shooting in three days? Are they targetting entertainers? Why dem a turn pon the industry now?" one music insider asked.

An obviously shaken DJ Stacious stood in front of the ward, her hands crisscrossed over her ample chest, muttering: "mi caan manage this, mi caan manage".

Mayor of Spanish Town, Dr. Andrew Wheatley, and Minister of Entertainment Olivia 'Babsy' Grange and her advisor Clifton 'Specialist' Dillon also turned up to offer support to the injured deejay, who grew up in the community of Braeton Phase Two in Portmore, St. Catherine. The shooting reportedly occurred close to Braeton Phase One which has had a history of friction with neighbouring communities in the area.
