He also stated that the only desire of the family of the Furigays is for the PNP to conduct a thorough investigation to find out who is responsible.

As far as the shooting is concerned, the police would not want to speculate.

"So far, it is speculative to assume its direct relation to the shooting incident that happened last Sunday at the Ateneo de Manila University," said PNP Public Information Office chief BGen. Roderick Alba, a PTV report stated.

"Our police personnel in Lamitan City is already conducting an investigation regarding the case," Alba said as per Manila Times.

Dr. Yumol was the only suspect in the Ateneo shooting, which took the lives of three people, including the former mayor Furigay.

Ogie Diaz, in a social media post, lamented the seemingly hero worship that some netizens accorded to Dr. Chao-Tiao Yumol. The physician is the one being pointed out as the perpetrator of the shooting incident at the Ateneo de Manila University. The incident left three people dead, including a former municipal mayor in Basilan, and several others injured.
