A woman was fatally shot at the entrance to the New Testament Church of God at Water Lane in Montego Bay, St James, on Wednesday afternoon, while a fasting service was being held inside.
The incident happened about 2:15 p.m.
Eyewitnesses say a man in a small van drove up to the entrance of the church, exited the vehicle and opened fire, hitting the woman five times. She reportedly fell inside the church.
She was assisted to the Cornwall Regional Hospital by residents, where she was pronounced dead.
Residents said the woman usually sells books outside the church.
