Good morning from Kingston, where the carnival confetti has barely settled and already the week is doing too much.

BIG WALL ENDED WITH GUNSHOTS. OF COURSE IT DID.

The annual Big Wall post-carnival party at Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre on Hope Road went sideways Sunday night when shooting broke out and left two people injured — including an American visitor who is now facing possible permanent injury. The woman has described the experience as “deeply traumatic,” which is a restrained way of describing getting shot at a party you came to from another country.

Event organisers have issued a statement expressing deep concern. Investigators say it is “very early days as it relates to charges.” The question of how a shooting happened at an event with security is being asked loudly. It is not yet being answered.

COP SHOOTS 13-YEAR-OLD ON ROOFTOP IN TRELAWNY

A uniformed police officer fired a single bullet inside a bar in Rio Bueno that struck a 13-year-old boy on the rooftop of the adjoining building. The Cedric Titus High School student is now hospitalised with life-threatening kidney and intestine injuries. His family says the shooting was entirely unprovoked. The child was on a rooftop next door. The officer was inside a bar.

There are many questions. There are not yet answers.

JUSTICE MINISTER: STOP THE PROFILING

The justice minister has told Justices of the Peace to help disrupt gangs and offer more support to vulnerable communities — and separately issued a public “stop the profiling” message. The timing, given the above two stories, is either very well-timed or very poorly timed depending on how charitable you are feeling.

REGGAE BOYZ EXIT WORLD CUP: WAS ANYONE SURPRISED?

The former national footballer known as “Zun” Clarke says Jamaica’s World Cup exit was no surprise because the programme built a side, not a team. The distinction between a side and a team is apparently significant to people who follow football closely. For the rest of us: Jamaica did not make it far and a man with a nickname is explaining why.

DOMINO’S JAMAICA HAS A NEW MASTER FRANCHISEE

First Order Brands Limited has acquired the assets of Convenient Brands Ltd and is now the master franchisee for Domino’s Pizza in Jamaica. The pizza will presumably remain the same. The corporate structure above it has changed. This matters to someone.

NEGRIL TO GET AN AMBULANCE

The resort town of Negril, which has been without a functional ambulance for several months, is expected to receive a repaired unit. A resort town with a tourist economy and no ambulance is a situation that presumably makes certain liability conversations very uncomfortable. The repaired ambulance has not yet arrived. The wait continues.
