Investigation showed that Jale fired his gun four times although it did not hit anyone but scaring the wits out of his neighbors.

As this happened the cop allegedly mauled his neighbor identified as Alex Yacapin, 19, without apparent reason.

Dili pa ma-determine unsa nga armas iyang gigamit pagpabuto kay wala man naecover,  gitaguan siguro dayon,” Curato said.

Para matubag niya sa legal nga paagi ang iyang sayop,” said Hortillosa. (a.l. ricalde)
