(Barbados Nation) Screams and cries of students of St Alban’s Primary School pierced the air yesterday around 8:10 a.m..
Those were not of children playing in the schoolyard, but of terrified infants hollering as they fled from the sounds of gunshots which claimed the life of Marlon Holder, who had just arrived at the Weston, St James school to drop off his six-year-old son.
According to eyewitnesses, a gunman was waiting near to a vendor stationed metres away from the gate, as Holder, 37, performed his daily routine.
Two other people were in the vehicle – a woman and her daughter.
