<snip>
A Wisconsin businessman was killed in Jamaica Saturday when he was caught in the crossfire between police and criminals.

Our sister station WISN in Milwaukee reports David Barnes of the Kenosha area was one of two people killed during a robbery.

The Jamaica Observer says Barnes was hit in the crossfire between police and robbers in coastal Western Jamaica, an area not usually frequented by tourists.

Barnes owned 11 Cost Cutters locations and two Supercuts in the Kenosha area.

One of the robbers was also killed in the gunfight.
