On the other end of the line, the heartbreaking screams of a woman broke through the usual hustle and bustle of the editorial team:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;A tragedy has just happened!, a neighbor killed a neighbor,&#8221;<\/strong> he shouted in desperation before the call was abruptly cut off, which made one of the journalists think that person had also been attacked.<\/p>\n\n\nThe tension momentarily hindered the journalists. In the call log, they found it difficult to visualize the phone number that had given the alert of the tragedy.\n\nThe panic that his voice conveyed made journalists <strong>Arelis Suero, Carolina \u00c1lvarez and Camil Adon<\/strong> try to return the call immediately, thinking that the worst had happened. Two minutes later, the phone rang again.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2014\u201cThere was a tragedy,\u201d<\/strong> the nervous voice of the citizen repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2014\u201cYes, please, inform us where\u201d,<\/strong> replied one of the journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2014\u201cHere in the Naco Dorado Condominium&#8230; a neighbor went from apartment to apartment knocking on doors&#8230; killed a neighbor and injured others\u201d, <\/strong>she replied very distressed<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2014\u201cRepeat the address,&#8221;<\/strong> the journalist asked again<strong>.<\/strong> Again, the call dropped.<\/p>\n\n\nThis situation generated doubts and several questions among the editorial staff &#8220;<strong>Will it be real?&#8221;, &#8220;Will the person who called have mental problems?<\/strong>&#8220;, &#8220;<strong><strong>Has<\/strong> she also been stabbed?&#8221;, &#8220;That only happens in the United States&#8221;. <\/strong>\n\nThe team coordinator was immediately called to report the situation, who gave the green light to follow up on the case and verify its veracity.\n\nWithout wasting time, the team moved to the scene. As they approached, the tension became palpable. The flashing lights of patrol cars and ambulances illuminated the facade of the condominium. Chaos and disbelief were reflected in the faces of the neighbors and onlookers.\n\nThe authorities had cordoned off the area, limiting access to the press. At the entrance of the building, the mayor of the <strong>National District, Carolina Mej\u00eda<\/strong>, was crying inconsolably. Minutes later, the First Lady Raquel Arbaje arrived, visibly affected. No one spoke in a loud voice, nor were any further details offered. Gazes sought solace, without finding it.\n\n<strong>&#8220;It was Willy&#8230; he went house to house attacking them,&#8221;<\/strong> the neighbors murmured through gritted teeth, their faces still pale with fright.\n\nAt 7:50 PM, the spokesperson for the <strong>National Police, Diego Pesqueira,<\/strong> confirmed what was already feared: a deceased woman and five people injured after a brutal knife attack inside the residential complex.\n\nThe aggressor was identified as Jean Andr\u00e9s Pumarol Fern\u00e1ndez, 30 years old, a resident of the same condominium. According to preliminary reports, he had knocked on the doors of several apartments, attacking without saying a word. Among the injured is his own father.\n\nYolanda Handal Habugabi, 70 years old, was the fatal victim of the attack. \n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Injured:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nGuillermo Ram\u00f3n Pumarol Castellano, 62 years old (father of the aggressor)\n\nFrancisco Texano, 68 years old (neighbor)\n\nTeresa Fabi\u00e1n Heredia, 70 years old (domestic employee of the deceased)\n\nGriselda Ozuna, 48 years old (neighbor)\n\nVictoria Heredia, 36 years old (neighbor)\n\nOne of the building&#8217;s workers reported that <strong>&#8220;I only heard screams&#8230; I went to the balcony and saw the running around&#8221;.<\/strong>\n\nAs astonishment invades everyone due to the news, the reason that drove Pumarol to commit the attack has not been revealed so far.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo.- It was 6:10 in the evening when the phone in the De \u00daltimo Minuto newsroom rang insistently.
