Gen. Lope Dago, said Major Harim Gonzaga, 37, was found dead inside his quarters with a gunshot wound to his chest.<\/p>\n<p>Dagoy said it was Gonzaga\u2019s wife, Shiela, who found the dead officer at around 8:50 a.m. and called for help.<\/p>\n<p>Dagoy said personnel from the Philippine National Police\u2019s Scene of the Crime Operation (SOCO) were immediately sought to assist in the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Initial investigation showed Gonzaga succumbed to a lone gunshot wound that pierced his heart.<\/p>\n<p>The gun used in the shooting reportedly belonged to the fallen officer. A spent shell and ammunition were recovered at the scene and are now with the SOCO.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were no apparent signs of struggle in the scene of the incident. According to SOCO, there were also no initial signs of foul play. Maayos naman lahat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dagoy said PSG does not want to speculate on the cause of death in respect to the privacy of Gonzaga\u2019s family hence, will wait for the SOCO\u2019s result of investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really cannot speculate on the real cause of death. Is it suicide? Accidental firing? We will leave it up to SOCO,\u201d Dagoy said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212; The Presidential Security Group (PSG) on Tuesday said they have launched an investigation into the shooting incident that claimed &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":119638,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[5577,24876,24877],"class_list":["post-119631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","tag-investigation","tag-presidential-security-group","tag-shooting-incident","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
