St. Stephen's School. The soldier said that
the box was not leaving Dupont School.
Andrew Holness started to shout at the
soldier who said that he did not care what
Andrew Holness wanted to say but the box
was not leaving Dupont School until 5.00
p.m. Andrew Holness and his supporters
then left the room and went on to the
corridor. About seven electors who were in
the room when Andrew Holness arrived ran
downstairs.
While they were on the corridor a police
officer came and told Andrew Holness that
he should leave because he was there for
more than 35 minutes. Andrew Holness said
that he would leave but he would return in
five minutes. He then went downstairs
followed by his supporters. While they were
on their way downstairs one of the men said
"a dead oonu dead now". The soldier who
was present spoke on his radio and shortly
thereafter I saw several police officers and
soldiers drive quickly onto the premises.
Andrew Holness and his supporters were
standing in the school yard when the police
and soldiers arrived. The security officers
jumped from their vehicles and started to
search the men who had accompanied
Andrew Holness. I saw the man who drove
the car in which Andrew Holness arrived,
passing a gun to Andrew Holness but he
walked away from it. The said man then
placed the gun in the trunk of the car that he
drove. One of the soldiers searched the said
man and the soldier who was on the corridor
went downstairs and removed the gun from
the trunk of the car. The driver and another
man were arrested. After the men were led
away Andrew Holness and his supporters left
the premises.
Voting had stopped during the disturbance
but restarted at about 1.OO p.m."
