Law enforcers mum on Barrigada incident

by Jolene Toves

Guam - The federal government is keeping a tight lid on what KUAM News cameras came across in Barrigada at around 10:30 this morning.  Several law enforcement authorities from  the Guam Police Department's SWAT unit and the U.S. Marshals surrounded a green hard body pickup truck.

Gina Gonzales, a veterinary assistant at Marianas Vet Care said, "I looked out the window and there was a swarm of guys and cars blocking a pickup truck and when I looked outside I saw a SWAT officer holding up a gun. I ran to the front door and heard a bang!"  She adds she saw a man, a woman, and a baby being removed from the vehicle, adding, "When I got to the front door I was looking out and everybody went to his driver-side door and some people went to the passenger side door and a lady got out and also they pulled out a young kid. Then they pinned him (driver) down and took him into custody."

GPD referred our inquiries to the U.S. Marshal's Office Task Force, who is not commenting at this time.
