Two people have passed away, and one remains in critical condition. The alleged shooter was apprehended near Black Tiger Bay Campground yesterday afternoon.
The statement also expresses apologies to the family affected by the tragedy, and accepts full responsibility for any misinformation disseminated as a result.
The statement did not name the alleged shooter or any of the victims.
The investigation into the incident continues.
