(Trinidad Express) The brutal murder of a 17-year-old boy outside the Success Laventille Composite School on Friday afternoon has left teachers at the school terrified for their lives and the lives of their pupils.
Police reports said at about 2.45 p.m. on Friday, as pupils and teachers were leaving the school, Form Four pupil Salim Dalzell had just exited the gates of the compound when he was shot by two armed men.
The attack, the Sunday Express was told, was so brazen that both pupils and teachers had to throw themselves on the ground to escape the hail of bullets.
After, both attackers fled the scene on foot and Dalzell was seen lying on the roadway in a pool of blood. He had been shot multiple times about the body.
The police and Emergency Health Services were notified and a party of officers from the Besson Street Police Station and the Inter Agency Task Force responded.
Dalzell was rushed to the Port of Spain General Hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
