Details of the Incident
According to police reports, a fellow officer arrived at the station around 8 am to open the office and found Bosibori seated and unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the chest. An AK-47 rifle issued to her for official duties was recovered beside her. Preliminary findings suggest she had locked herself inside the office before the fatal shooting occurred.
