A TEACHER was rushed to a hospital after she was shot by her husband inside a school in Tanauan, Leyte on Thursday morning, October 16, 2025.
In a report, the Tanauan Municipal Police Station said the victim, Elizabeth Mandreza, was inside the Tanauan School of Craftsmanship and Home Industries in Barangay Canramos, Tanauan, Leyte, when her husband, Adan Mandreza, arrived and fired upon her using a caliber .38 gun.
