According to reports, a 14 year old female passenger from Carnival Victory was on her way with her family to Coki Beach when she was sadly caught in the crossfire of an apparent gang shootout. Initial reports indicate that the shooting occurred onboard either a bus or tourist taxi and that the gang members onboard opened fire on each other accidentally killing the girl and injuring another passenger. The girl, from Puerto Rico, and her family were not on a ship excursion when the shooting occurred.
Very sad news.

How terribly terribly sad for the family of this girl - my thoughts are with them.
Something needs to be done quickly. How can you have so much crime and so many murders with such a small population?? Places like St Thomas rely on tourism for their economy and to lose these high numbers of visitors would have drastic consequences on the Caribbean Island. Jamaica has suffered similar bad press recently and a number of cruise lines have now dropped their calls into Jamaican ports.
If things don't change for St Thomas, they will suffer the same fate
