Here's what he had to say:
Kareem Musa - Minister of Home Affairs
"Definitely, I would have to say that tragedy struck in Hopkins. A very unexpected incident occurred whereby eight individuals, including police officers, were shot, and two individuals lost their lives. And so, we extend our condolences to the families of those two individuals. And we wished the other six a speedy recovery. Tragic and unexpected, as I said, something that the police could not have foreseen. But at the same time, I want to acknowledge the very hard, swift work by the police department in apprehending the three suspects. From the information that I have received, we have very good evidence against these three individuals. So you can expect that charges will be laid, and those individuals will be sent to prison to await their trial. So we expect, as I said, we have good evidence, and we expect a conviction in this case."
