Relevant contents

In Samoa (population 160,000), firearms were used in ten of the 175 homicides committed between 1998 and 2002. (54)

The shooting assassination of a Samoan cabinet minister, in August 1999, was notable, mainly because such an event was unprecedented in that country (Pacific News Bulletin, 1999).
