Police Appeal to Licensed Firearm Holders to Follow Procedures in the Wake of Teen’s Death

The Commissioner of Police, Mr Enville Williams, has reminded licensed firearm holders that there are established procedures to follow when a firearm is not in their possession.

At a press conference on Monday, the Commissioner briefly addressed the death of 19-year-old Zachary Harry, who allegedly took his own life in the Lauders area on Sunday.

According to reports, Mr Harry is believed to have died from a gunshot wound to the head, allegedly inflicted with a licensed firearm that was present at the residence where the incident occurred.

At Monday’s press conference, Commissioner Williams stated:
“I also want to take this opportunity to speak directly to licensed firearm holders, because there is a procedure, there is a protocol where licensed firearms are concerned when it is not on your person.”

“And I said that specifically because last evening—well, yesterday afternoon around 2.50 p.m.—the young man, Zachary Harry, died by gunshot wound, and the firearm in question is a licensed firearm.”

The Commissioner did not comment further on the matter.

Police say no foul play is suspected, but investigations are ongoing.
