LATIMES: A Puerto Rico policeman fatally shot two high-ranking officers and a policewoman on Monday following an argument at work that temporarily shut down the station in the U.S. territory’s second largest city, authorities said. The suspect was immediately placed under arrest.
The suspect held a female lieutenant, a male commander and a policewoman hostage in an office before he killed them, police spokeswoman Mayra Ayala told the Associated Press. Other police officials identified the officer as Guarionex Candelario.
Ayala said authorities were about to start negotiations with the suspect when the victims were killed. She said police did not yet have information on a motive.
