By Benjamin Flowers: Wabinaha Bar and Night Club in Hopkins, Stann Creek District, is now subject to a police investigation after a 15-year-old female became one of the victims in the mass shooting at the bar on Sunday morning.

Today, Commissioner of Police Chester Williams announced the plans to investigate the establishment. The announcement was made in a Facebook post where he also updated the nation on the status of the investigations into the shooting.

“Investigation is also underway against the proprietor of the establishment for breaches of the conditions of his license by not having an adequate exit, not having adequate security and having a minor within the establishment,” Williams said.

He also told the nation that police have detained the three men believed to be responsible for the shooting, and that they should be brought before the courts tomorrow morning.

There were two people killed and eight injured, including three police officers, during the incident.

Earlier today, the Belize Progressive Party, issued a statement condemning the mass shooting and questioning how a minor could have been among those injured in an establishment that should have an 18-year-old minimum age entry limit by law.
