GUAYNABO FAMILY MASSACRE




According to El Nuevo Dia, 66-year-old retired soldier Miguel Ortiz
Díaz, his wife, and another woman were found shot  to death early
this morning in a home in the Los Frailes  neighborhood of Guaynabo.
Meanwhile, Police found the body of the family's 15-year-old son
in a field in the Guaraguao area of Bayamon. The family's 13-year-
old son, who was wounded but survived, is under Police protection.
He was reportedly thrown off a bridge near where the 15-year-old
was found, but was able to get up and alert police. One person has
been detained and is being  held for questioning.  The killings may
have resulted from a dispute involving a property Ortiz Díaz was

midnight deadline.
