Five persons shot in four separate incidents in three districts: woman takes bullets intended for target in Banak area

By Aaron Humes: Friday evening was particularly bloody, concluding a week of shootings and retaliation upon retaliation for various previous incidents.

The first victim appears to be clearly unintended, taking bullets meant for someone else according to police.

37-year-old Dina Mas, a Guatemalan national from Saint Martin Extension, was walking on the right-hand side of Lakeview Street, headed north toward Vernon Street, when someone who was hiding in a bushy area opened fire, aiming for a man opposite her who was walking on the left side down toward Cemetery Road.

Unfortunately, Dina was hit by the shots in the body and was admitted to hospital in a stable condition. 

The immediate area is the center of a gang conflict that has claimed multiple lives in recent months.

Police are investigating.
