INVESTIGATORS are looking into "rido" or family feud as possible motive in the shooting incident that killed one person and wounded three others in Pantao Ragat, Lanao del Norte Wednesday, January 22.
Killed was Farouk Macarimbang, while wounded Asliah Limgas, 52; Ashmine Limgas, 22; and Nor Aliah Barat, 24, all are residents of Sitio Walu-u, Barangay West Poblacion, Pantao Ragat town.
