PNP: 7 Ormoc City Cops Persons of Interest in Kerwin Espinosa Shooting
PNP spokesperson PBGen Jean Fajardo has confirmed that seven policemen are now in custody at the Leyte Provincial Police Office. They are considered persons of interest in the attempted assassination of mayoral candidate Kerwin Espinosa, which took place yesterday in Albuera, Leyte.
According to reports, the suspected gunman fled toward a compound near a gym where Espinosa had just been shot. When responding police officers arrived, they were surprised to find several men inside the compound who identified themselves as policemen from Ormoc City—two officers and five non-commissioned officers.
Fajardo noted that the presence of the Ormoc City police personnel in the area was highly irregular and questionable, as they are officially assigned to the Ormoc City Police Office.
A Montero SUV used by the Ormoc policemen was searched, yielding six M-16 assault rifles, three 9mm pistols, and two .45-caliber pistols, all of which were confiscated by responding members of the PNP mobile force.
