The Virgin Islands National Guard's announced training period near Estate Glen, Estate Slob and Coble ended Friday, September 18. No official extension or replacement noise advisory was found Saturday morning, so WelcomeToVI has retired the active alert.
During the scheduled exercises, blank ammunition could produce repeated sounds resembling gunfire. The original notice did not provide daily training hours or a precise boundary, and the Guard has not published a dated completion report.
The expiration of that notice does not determine the cause of any sound heard after the announced period. Anyone who sees an immediate threat, injury or other emergency should call 911 and follow instructions from public-safety personnel.
The National Guard should publish daily hours, a simple location map and a dated completion notice for future exercises so residents know exactly when an advisory begins and ends.
