Kerwin Espinosa expressed concern about the possibility of a whitewash by the police following the alleged involvement of seven Ormoc City police officers led by city police chief Police Col. Reydante Ariza in the assassination attempt against him on Thursday, April 10.

Kerwin, Albuera, Leyte mayoral bet, was shot in the right chest while attending a campaign rally in Barangay Tinag-an at past 4 p.m.

Police were found in a compound where the alleged gunshot came and the supposed getaway vehicles with Espinosa's tarpaulins placed on them.

Leyte Police Provincial Office chief Police Col. Dionisio Apas Jr., in a media interview, admitted that the Ormoc and Albuera police stations did not coordinate prior to the alleged service of warrants against still undisclosed individuals.

Lawmen discovered several firearms and ammunition in the vehicles.

Apas confirmed that one of them was a caliber 5.56mm Armalite rifle that can shoot as far as 500 meters.

Espinosa claimed that a Bushmaster caliber 5.56 Armalite rifle was used to shoot him.
