LINGAYEN—The policeman who figured in a shooting rage that killed four  persons and wounded three others, most of them teachers, on Sept. 1 last year inside the Pangasinan National High School (PNHS) here remains in prison at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) while trial of his cases is going on.

P/Sr. Supt. Reynaldo Biay, officer-in-charge at the Pangasinan Police Provincial Office, said as far as the police is concerned, the ball is now in the hands of the judiciary as the suspect, PO3 Domino Alipio, resident of Calasiao town and then assigned at Anda Municipal Police Station, had been arrested and consequently charged, both criminally and administratively.

Four counts of murder and three counts of frustrated murder had been filed by the Lingayen Police against Alipio while the National Police Commission of Pangasinan charged the suspect at their regional office in La Union separate administrative case for grave misconduct.

While Alipio is undergoing trial, he is detained at the BJMP Dagupan City, Biay said.

Alipio, whose rage reportedly stemmed from his failure to collect payments of loans availed by some teachers at the PNHS, shot dead Florenda Flores, teacher at Labrador National High School in Labrador town, who was a loan agent of the suspect; Acidello Sison, Linda Sison, both teachers at the PNHS and Jonalito Urayan, of Barangay Gabon, Calasiao town who was a collector of the suspect.

Three other teachers of the PNHS, Ferdinand Entimano, Jovito Jimenez and Juliet Molano were wounded.

Biay said policemen assigned at the PNHS to secure area following the shooting rampage had been deployed to other assignments but a police community precinct located prior to the entrance of the school is still being maintained by Lingayen policemen. (Tita Roces)
