W460

Four people were killed on Thursday in the Keserwan town of Ashqout in a dispute between neighbors, state-run National News Agency reported.

It identified the victims as Jean Paul Hoballah, Paul Hoballah, Isabelle Hoballah and Antoine Chidiac, saying they were shot dead in Ashqout's al-Shmeis neighborhood.

Media reports identified the shooter as General Security warrant officer Tony Abboud.

He eventually turned himself in to a General Security post in the town of Rayfoun, NNA said.

“The shooter was infuriated after his daughter was harassed by a dog, which prompted him to shoot the dog owner and the owner's father and mother,” the agency reported.

Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) meanwhile said that the victims were residents and not natives of the town.

In Lebanon, the lowest ranking member of any security agency thinks and acts as if he is King and that people owe him something.

This is a horrific crime no doubt.
