An eight-year-old British girl has died after a gunman opened fire on a shop in Jamaica.
Imani Green, from Balham, south London, was visiting relatives on the island with her mother when the shooting happened in the northwestern town of Duncans, in Trelawny.
The Sun reports that Imani was shot twice, first in the head and then the shoulder. She was taken to hospital but died later.
The newspaper said the attack on Friday may be linked to an argument the owner of the shop was involved in.
Imani's brother, Dean Palmer, told Sky News he was completely devastated by the death of his sister, who he described as "an extremely brave girl".
Speaking before he left the UK for Jamaica, he said Imani suffers from sickle-cell anaemia and goes there twice a year to help her cope with the disease.
He said the family was in two minds about whether to take her this time, but within a few days of arriving she was "back to her normal self".
Local media said three other people were injured.
The British Foreign Office said: "We are providing consular assistance and liaising with local authorities."
