Santo Domingo.– Four dead and seven persons wounded were the aftermath of a shooting incident that occurred after an eviction order was served on land occupants in the Lisa community, in Miches, on the Dominican north east coast.
According to the police authorities, the dead are Ozorio Nuñez (45), Gabriel Nuñez (35), Ceferino Peralta and another person identified as Nene. The wounded were immediately taken to hospitals in Higuey and Nisibon.
