Children To Get Therapy After Witnessing Murder At Church - 5-Y-O Girl Shot Twice, Hospitalised
Published: Tuesday | July 30, 2013
Members of the Victim Support Unit will be heading to a section of Bull Bay, St Andrew, later today to offer counselling to children who witnessed a brazen daylight murder while attending Bible school.
The altar did not save the man, Chad Telfer, from the deadly attack. A five-year-old girl who was also shot and injured during the incident is currently in hospital.
The Gleaner understands that the children were attending Vacation Bible School at the Church of God of Prophecy, when gunmen chased and shot a man who sought refuge on the church compound.
The shooting took place some minutes after noon when the children were on their lunch break, according to pastor at the church, Conrad Atkinson.

Catholic priest Father Charles Brown devoted his spare time to nurturing young people in the community, even though he was retired. But he was a no-nonsense man who knew danger and how to avoid it. He knew how to deal with people.
That's how Father Thomas Dynetius, with whom the priest had a close working relationship, describes him. Although the worst is feared, it has yet to be confirmed that the body found in Plantation Heights, St Andrew, is that of Brown, who disappeared on July 24.
Police yesterday cordoned off an area not far from where an abandoned motor vehicle belonging to the missing clergyman was found, following the discovery of the decomposing body in bushes to the side of a main road leading from Mandela Highway in St Andrew to the community of Plantation Heights.
The 71-year-old was last seen conducting Mass at the Christ the Redeemer Human Resource Centre in Seaview Gardens in St Andrew, a community with which he had developed an intimate attachment over the past three months.
"He's a very generous man in terms of giving his time, talent, pleasure to the people, very compassionate, very down to earth and real. So if there are people in need, he will actively try to help them out," said Dynetius.
