San Juan, Jul 4 (EFE).- Four men who fired off guns on a beach in southern Puerto Rico were killed by an angry father who mistakenly thought his daughter had been struck by one of their shots, police said Tuesday.
Ernesto Albarran, 19; Cristian Flores, 21; Armando Castro, 25, and his brother Angel, 20, fired shots Monday night on La Jungla beach in the town of Guanica, according to the preliminary investigation.
Adan Torres Quiñones noticed the gunplay and thought his daughter had been hit when he saw her throw herself on the sand to dodge the bullets. Enraged, he pursued the four men and shot them, firing 22 shots in all.
The 41-year-old Torres surrendered to police and was being held in the southern city de Ponce. EFE jm/dr

Got 'em all. Much better shot than they were, too.
lesson learned: you CAN drink too much rum
Took him 22 shots, but they were probably doing some serious footwork.
At least those gunslingers won't be terrorizing any more beaches.
"Honest mistake".
Ummm, it's likely the guy went into his house to get his gun and then took off in pursuit ... without first checking on his daughter. Much more than a mistake, much more than a poor judgement call.
On the other hand, those four guys should have shot back. I would have.
Well, next time you decide to start shooting at a public beach, you go right ahead and do that...
Before you write anything. Get your story straight. They weren't firing at Adan Torres. I knew those guys that got killed and they were just going to the beach to have a good time. So I don't know where you people get this from that they were firing at people. Titito (Ernesto Albarran) would never do that. He wasn't the type to start fights.
