A teacher was shot dead on Tuesday morning in front of her colleagues and students at Sandy Bank Infant School in Treasure Beach, St. Elizabeth.
She has been identified as 26-year-old Chanel Smith.
It's reported that two men dressed in hooded sweaters and masks were parked at the school gate pretending to repair their motorcycle.

She was pronounced dead at hospital.

Eight spent shells were recovered at the scene.
