Fatal Shooting in St Michael: Police are investigating an early Sunday shooting in Jackmans, Skeetes Road, where one man was killed and another taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for treatment; authorities are urging witnesses to come forward via Crime Stoppers or police hotlines. Digital Government Push: GovTech Barbados says it’s moving beyond “talking” by rolling out citizen-focused online tools—like pension and severance calculators and event permit guidance—to cut confusion and reduce repeat trips to government offices. Regional Health Tech: CARPHA reports Saint Lucia has completed a rapid PCR testing platform capable of detecting multiple infectious diseases in under two hours, strengthening outbreak response. Health & Lifestyle Focus: Barbados is set to host the Live Stronger Longer diabetes and hypertension conference this May 18–19, with sessions on diet, movement, sleep and stress reduction. Diplomacy Boost: Barbados has opened its first resident embassy in Ireland, aiming to deepen trade, tourism and cultural ties.
