Violent crime is a rare occasion in Barbados Six people have died after a clothing store was set on fire during an armed robbery in Bridgetown , Barbados. Two men entered Campus Trendz Clothing Store wielding machetes and demanded money. The pair then set a fire and fled the scene. Former Prime Minister of Barbados Owen Arthur has called for "stiff penalties" for those responsible for the attack. He said “When somebody could throw a cocktail in a building where other Barbadians are, we have to call it what it is, modern terrorism and they must face the full measure and full weight [of the law].” He has also called for a national day of mourning for the victims.
