A member of the Jamaica Defence Force and a nine-year-old child are hospitalised following an attack by gunmen in Blue Hole, St. Ann on Sunday evening.
Two other people were also shot in the attack.
The victims were removed from the wreckage of a motor vehicle which crashed on the North South leg of Highway 2000.
