Gunmen strafe mayor’s residence in Zambo Norte town

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 22): Gunmen strafe mayor’s residence in Zambo Norte town

The police have been ordered to conduct an in-depth investigation over the strafing of a town mayor's house in the province of Zamboanga del Norte.

Senior Supt. Edwin Buenaventura Wagan, Zamboanga del Norte police director, on Wednesday issued the order after he received report that the residence of Siayan Mayor Flora Villarosa was fired upon by gunmen.

Wagan said the initial report he received showed that the incident occurred around 12:55 a.m. Wednesday in Barangay Poblacion, Siayan, Zamboanga del Norte.

Wagan said the gunmen aboard two Sports Utility Vehicles and a motorcycle opened fire as they slowly passed by the residence of the town mayor.

He said no one was either killed or wounded during the attack.

Recovered outside the front gate of Villarosa’s compound were five empty shells from an M16 rifle and two deformed slugs.

Wagan has ordered the police in Siayan town to look into possible motives of the attack and to establish the identities of the gunmen.
