It was bound to happen – a debate on whether excessive force was used in the extra-judicial killing of the two alleged suspects in Lightfoot East in the early hours of this past Thursday morning. The suspects allegedly were acting suspiciously in that neighbourhood, and the Rapid Response Unit of the Royal Antigua & Barbuda Police Force, allegedly sprung into action after receiving a tip of their furtive movements. According to the police, the suspects were wearing camouflage fatigues (outlawed in Antigua and the region) and armed with two semi-automatic rifles. The authorities have also divulged that the police opened fire on the suspects after at least one shot was discharged at the law enforcement officers. The police responded with a fusillade that resulted in the deaths of the suspects.
