“Yes it was very concerning to see that action take place in our city. Belmopan is known for being peaceful city, so twelve or thirteen shots being fired in front of a grocery store in broad daylight is very alarming. We tend to regularly meet with the police department. The department and the council participate in a by monthly prayer session with some pastors and during that session the police usually gives us a briefing of what has happened recently, concerns in the neighborhood and city. So, we will be updated on that but I have not been briefed as yet.”
