The List?n Diario reports that less than 48 hours after a
group of men attacked and killed a police sergeant, the chauffeur of a general,
the four alleged assailants were located in the Barrio Lindo section of La
Herradura, just to south of Santiago de los Caballeros. According to neighbors,
the four young men had only been living in the modest house where they were
found for four days. The police surrounded the house and two of the men died in
the shooting that followed and one police lieutenant was wounded. One man is now
in custody and police are looking for a fourth individual. The weapons
purportedly used in the attack, which belonged to the deceased Sergeant Rolando
Feliciano Castro, were recovered in the house in Barrio Lindo, according to
police sources. The assistant district attorney who accompanied the police in
the search would not answer any questions beyond the fact that the dead had been
linked to the attack that left the sergeant dead and the general injured. The
gang of four confiscated the sergeant?s submachine gun and pistol, killed him,
and then wounded his boss in the leg.
