In last month’s issue of Philippine Sentinel, we published a report derived from the internet that the suspect who shot Ms Santelices was slain. It was further reported that Orlando del Rosario, the alleged gunman was killed in a shootout with police and that the case was closed.
We gathered information from Tara’s best friend and other witnesses who were with her at the time of the shooting that del Rosario is just a fall guy. He was positively identified not to be the real gunman who shot Tara just to grab her laptop computer.
Tara’s parents are still suffering in pain that the real gunman is still alive and free and maybe waiting for his next victim.
According to her mother, Tara’s condition is stable and they are making preparations to bring her home soon from the hospital.
