The Government is taking steps to protect Jamaica’s image following yesterday’s incident in which a car with six Canadian tourists was hit by gunshots in Kingston.

The tourists were travelling from Montego Bay.

According to the minister with responsibility for information, Daryl Vaz, one of the passengers was injured by shattered galas from the car.

He says the passenger was treated at Kingston Public Hospital and released.

Mr. Vaz says the Government is working to contain any possible fallout from the incident.

The six tourists were safely returned to their hotel in Montego Bay by helicopter last night.

Earlier, they were met by Prime Minister Bruce Golding and officials of the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB).

The Prime Minister has sought to assure the tourists that the Government will do everything to ensure their comfort until they leave the island on Saturday.
