Two 17-year-old males were shot on Frederiksted's Ann E. Abramson Pier on Tuesday around 7:30 p.m., leaving one dead and one wounded, according to the V.I. Police Department.

The second shooting victim was apprehended by police officers several blocks away. He also received medical treatment.

Good! I'm glad to see those two punks got what they deserve. You live by the sword, you DIE by the sword. We need to wipe scum like that off the planet so that GOOD people can live safe and free.

The only one I feel sorry for is the man who shot them... There's no such thing as self defense in the court of law and you know he will be jailed for defending himself.
