A gunman is still at large from a shooting that occurred on St. Thomas Thursday, the V.i. Police Department reported.
VIPD and emergency responders were dispatched by 911 to lower Kronprindsens Gade after a concerned citizen reported a Black male lying on the ground. The citizen also reported that the male appeared to have sustained at least one gunshot wound to the upper body, and the male appeared to be slipping in and out of consciousness, according to the police report.
