I am disgusted with these shooting events and murders. Not that many years ago we were delighted to find Nevis and continually return as tourists, knowing that it is serene and safe. Is desperation brought on by a sagging economy and an expanding drug culture? I hope that steps are being taken to increase employment and more openly engage residents to the truth that guns, drugs and crime in general, will disuade all but the true lovers of our favourite island from visiting.
