{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Puerto Rico policeman accused of killing three fellow officers at work has been suspended and is being held on $11 million bond.
Police Chief Jose Caldero announced the suspension Monday and said he intends to expel Guarionex Candelario Rivera from the department.
Candelario faces 11 charges, including first-degree murder. He was charged Saturday after being released from hospital treatment for two gunshot wounds during last week's bloodshed. His right arm was in a sling and he had two black eyes.

The police forces says Candelario was disarmed in 2005 and received psychological treatment for a decade. His weapon was returned in January 2015.
