Several people who were attending a football match in the Pleasant Heights community of Rockfort, east Kingston, were shot on Monday evening, the police say.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Donovan Graham says persons have been taken to hospital. 

He says the police are working on a preliminary update. 

Pleasant Heights, formerly known as Wareika Hills, has a violent past, particularly driven by deadly gang feuds. 

More details to come.
