KORONADAL CITY – Unidentified gunmen shot dead Tuesday night a
school principal of Sultan Kudarat and wounded her husband at the outskirt
village here, police said.
Supt. Barney Condes, Koronadal City police director, identified
the victim as Jelyn Sumapal, principal of Sumapal Elementary School in Barangay
Palavilla, Lutayan, Sultan Kudarat.
Her husband, Antonio Sumapal, was critically injured.
Police said the ambush site was in the borders of Koronadal City
and Lutayan in Sultan Kudarat.
Condes said the couple were heading for Koronadal City at 6:30
p.m. when two men on motorbike overtook the owner-type jeep driven by Mr.
Sumapal, a former village official.
The gunmen then peppered the victims with cal. 45 pistol and
fled. Despite his injury, Sumapal managed
to drive the vehicle up to a nearby community police detachment in Barangay
Namnama. Police rushed them to the hospital.
But the school principal was declared dead on arrival at a
private hospital here while her husband remained in critical condition.
Condes said the suspects fled toward Barangay Avancenia, also in
Koronadal.
We
are looking at different angles and motives, personal grudge was one of them,”
Condes said, adding that investigation continues.
