MOTHER MOURNS SON KILLED IN GROS-ISLET SHOOTING

On the eve of what should have been a joyful milestone—her 66th birthday—a grieving mother instead prepares to bury her youngest child. The anguish is written in her voice as she mourns the loss of 30-year-old Josia Ned Herman, gunned down in Gros-Islet Tuesday night. Her heartbreak is deepened by disappointment and fear, as she questions whether the authorities have either the will or ability to stem the violence that has now claimed her son.
