Woman killed, 2 men injured in Edinburgh 500 shooting

A 32-year-old woman is dead and two men are in­jured fol­low­ing a shoot­ing at a home on Vic­to­ria Dri­ve West, Ed­in­burgh 500, yes­ter­day evening.

Po­lice said the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing the at­tack re­main un­der in­ves­ti­ga­tion and the mo­tive has not yet been de­ter­mined.

The de­ceased has been iden­ti­fied as Shan­ice Mor­ris, a CSR at Pro­gres­sive Cred­it Union.

Re­ports in­di­cate Mor­ris had been tak­ing part in a night foot­ball league at the Ed­in­burgh 500 Recre­ation­al Grounds when she re­ceived a call that her boyfriend had been shot.

She then went to his home, where she was lat­er shot and killed.

Her boyfriend, a 34-year-old man, sus­tained gun­shot in­juries in the at­tack. An­oth­er in­jured vic­tim is a 36-year-old Lance Cor­po­ral of the Trinidad and To­ba­go De­fence Force.

All three vic­tims were shot around 7.20 pm. Of­fi­cers ar­rived at the scene at ap­prox­i­mate­ly 7.45 pm and found Mor­ris ly­ing on her back in a pool of blood. She was un­re­spon­sive. The two in­jured men were found on the porch.

Of­fi­cers re­cov­ered 16 spent shell cas­ings from the scene.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors are al­so re­view­ing the pos­si­bil­i­ty that Mor­ris may not have been the in­tend­ed tar­get.

The in­ci­dent comes one month af­ter a 30-year-old sol­dier, Jae­lani Gar­cia Williams, was killed on Le Clave Road, Ed­in­burgh 500, af­ter be­ing shot mul­ti­ple times. No ar­rests have been made in that case.
