One of two alleged gunmen who reportedly opened fire on a police team in St. Catherine early Sunday morning was fatally shot, and an illegal firearm seized.
The incident occurred about 5:30 a.m.
Law enforcement officers were reportedly conducting an operation in the Zepherton community near Linstead, when upon entering premises across a railroad track, they came under fire from two men.
The officers took evasive action and returned fire.
One of the gunmen was reportedly shot and injured, while the other managed to escape.
The wounded suspect was allegedly found with a revolver loaded with three rounds of ammunition.
He was transported to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The police are searching for the second suspect.
