A shooting near Kingstown, the capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, left four people dead and four others wounded, according to reports from the Caribbean islands.
The islands are known primarily as a tourism destination, and an incident of this scale is unusual for the country, which typically registers low levels of violent crime compared with some of its regional neighbors.
Authorities were expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting, though details about a motive or those responsible had not been made public at the time of reporting.
The attack is likely to draw attention to security conditions in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, a nation whose economy relies heavily on its reputation as a safe destination for visitors.
Further updates on the investigation and the condition of the wounded were expected as local authorities continue to assess the incident.
