Armed robbers in Barbados have set fire to a clothing shop in the capital, Bridgetown, killing six people who were inside.
Police said two men with machetes burst into the shop and demanded money before starting a blaze.
Three staff and three customers were trapped inside the burning building after apparently fleeing to the back of the shop to escape the flames.
A police spokesman described the incident as a national tragedy.
