Jamaica shooting fuels riot
By AP

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica -- Riots erupted in Jamaica's tranquil Montego Bay resort town yesterday when crowds, angry over the police killing of two elderly men, spilled into the streets and blocked an airport road with flaming barricades. Taxi driver David Bacchas, 63, and newspaper vendor Cecil Brown, 66, were killed yesterday morning.

Police first said the men fired on them and two weapons were recovered from the taxi but later changed the story, saying the men were caught in a crossfire during a police raid in the area.
